Start the school year off on the right foot by signing up for Scrip!
Reduce the cost of next year's tuition by participating in the Scrip program.
Through Scrip, families purchase gift cards from nearly 400 retailers and receive a rebate that is later credited to their tuition. What makes St. Brigid's program special is that 100 percent of the rebate or discount is credited to each participating family's individual St. Brigid tuition account.
By partnering with the Great Lakes Scrip Company, St. Brigid receives the gift cards at a discount ranging from nearly 2 percent to as much as 30 percent, based on the retailer. St. Brigid families pay face value for the cards and the difference is applied to next year's tuition.
Scrip Now! and reloadable gift cards make it even easier for families to add up the savings. Scrip Now! are electronic gift cards that can be ordered online anytime of the day or night. They are sent to your e-mail account and can be printed out and taken to the store or used online.
There also are more than 50 Reload Now cards that add funds in minutes and Reload cards that add funds overnight to cards previously purchased in the program. Once one of these cards has been ordered through the Scrip program, additional money can be added from your computer or smart phone.
Our next order deadline for the regular (non-electronic) gift cards is Monday, Oct 2 at midnight.
