Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.)

The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is an exciting opportunity to accumulate credit toward tuition costs. Families who use TRIP can potentially reduce their tuition by hundreds of dollars each year by shopping at participating merchants. Through TRIP, gift certificates from grocery stores, restaurants, and many other businesses are purchased at a discount. The certificates are then sold to participating families at face value, with the discount passed on in the form of a tuition credit.

Anyone may participate in TRIP and help reduce a family’s tuition! Grandparents, aunts, uncles, church members and friends can enroll in TRIP and designate their credits to go to a specific family’s tuition account. They may also choose to designate their credits to go to a Scholarship Fund, which assists many families. At Lumen Christi, families who are planning to eventually enroll their children can also participate in TRIP by “banking” their credits. Their TRIP credits will be held until their child begins their seventh-grade year at Lumen Christi.

TRIP hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 until 3:00, and Friday, 7:30-9:00 a.m. Regular orders must be dropped off by 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday for pick up the following Tuesday. A TRIP order dropped off after 9:00 a.m. will not be processed until the following week.

Be sure to come in and use TRIP because it will help to build your credits throughout the year and keep you in the “habit”… And this is a good habit! Tell all of your family and friends about TRIP and have them participate-it really is so easy!

What is ScripNow? Physical gift cards are delivered to the school here in the mail, but a ScripNow eCard is delivered right to your ShopWithScrip account minutes after ordering. Plus, in most cases, you can select an amount for ScripNow more precisely than buying a gift card with set denominations.

To view retailers that offer ScripNow, go to the Shop page on ShopWithScrip.com and choose ScripNow under the Card Type filter. You can order ScripNow for over 350 retailer brands and receive your card instantly if you checkout with PrestoPay.This convenience comes in handy if you’re ready to checkout at the store and realize that you don’t have a gift card. You can pull up MyScripWallet on your phone, order a ScripNow eCard, and then show the cashier right on the phone. You will have raised money for your tuition credit and you didn’t even have to wait to pick up a physical gift card from the office here.

You can also use ScripNow when you’re online shopping. Just copy and paste the eCard code and PIN if the eCard has one into the gift card field on the checkout page. Wow!!! this is soooo easy! Do you want to sign up for online T.R.I.P. purchasing?  Call or email me — I would love to help you!
