FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Saint Timothy Scrip

What Is Scrip?

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”.  When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our parish and credit for yourself.

 

How scrip generates tuition credit for you

St. Timothy’s Scrip Office purchases scrip from both local and national stores such as grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers.  Because the scrip is purchased up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount.  St. Timothy’s buys the scrip at a discount, and re-sells the certificates to families like yours for full face value.  The discount is split between the Parish and you.  When you purchase scrip you receive a credit voucher.  This credit voucher can be applied to your tuition whether it’s a Catholic grade school, high school, or university. You loose absolutely nothing. You gain by making your money work for you. 

 

For example:  You purchase $100 of Acme.  You receive $100 in Acme gift certificates along with a credit voucher for 3% ($3.00).   If you buy $100 of groceries every week for a year you will save $156. (This is just groceries, imagine how much more you can save by purchasing other stores.)
