Now, with almost every purchase you make, locally and around the country, you can provide tuition assistance to students at Holy Cross. This will happen if you use SCRIP to make your purchases. SCRIP is a term that means "substitute money". When you purchase scrip through Holy Cross Parish, you're purchasing gift certificates in amounts that can be spent just like cash. You can use scrip at participating businesses throughout the area for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials--at no extra cost to you. The retailers pay a dividend, 75% of which will go toward providing tuition assistance for Holy Cross students.
Patrons can either earmark their purchases for a certain student or designate the money for a general tuition assistance fund. People with children too young to attend school can "bank" the assistance money they generate for up to five years for a specific student-to-be. Shoppers don't have to have a child in the Catholic school system to be part of the Scrip program. All are welcome to take part in this program and help with tuition assistance.
The online service shopwithscrip.com is now our preferred ordering method for all your scrip needs. While we will continue to accept paper order forms as always, we strongly encourage scrip customers to set up an account with shopwithscrip.com.
NEW! Even easier ordering with the new RaiseRight App. Find it in your Apple or Google Play stores!
It's quicker and easier than the traditional order form--both for you and the parish.
It reduces the chance of mix-ups and incorrectly filled orders.
You can reload existing gift cards immediately rather than waiting for a new card you ordered to arrive.
Some merchants allow you to print your own gift certificates immediately, rather than waiting for an order to be processed by the parish.
You now have four options available to order SCRIP:
1. Online at www.shopwithscrip.com
2. MyScripWallet.com
3. RaiseRight App
4. Paper Order Form
All purchasers need a SCRIP Agreement Form on file. Click here to print one.
