What is the Scrip Program? SCRIP is a year-round fundraising program whose income is used to help offset rising tuition.

How does SCRIP work? There are several ways to contribute to the SCRIP Program.  The SCRIP Office sells negotiable gift certificates and debit cards from a wide variety of merchants (e.g. Macy’s, Scalise Meats, Encinal Market, LaVal’s Pizza, et al) which you purchase AT FACE VALUE. For each SCRIP certificate or debit card purchased, St. Joseph receives proceeds from the merchant, ranging from 2% (e.g. Shell Oil) to 20% (e.g. La Val’s Pizza).

Are there extra costs or limitations? There are NO out-of-pocket costs to the families participating in the SCRIP program (other than face value of your purchases). There are NO limitations to the amount of SCRIP you can purchase from St. Joseph. Further, there is NO limitation as to the type of goods or merchandise that you can purchase with SCRIP.

How can I order SCRIP? You may order: (1) at the Scrip Office; or (2) through the SCRIP Order Form/Envelope via your child. Payment for SCRIP must be received at the time you place your order.  SCRIP cannot be disbursed without prior payment.

When will I receive the SCRIP? Every attempt is made to keep in stock SCRIP for our most popular vendors (Side 1 of the SCRIP order form), and you will usually receive that SCRIP the same day you place your order. "Special Order" SCRIP (Side 2 of the order form) is SCRIP we do not usually on hand.  Once you place your order, we will order it from our supplier and will send it to you as soon as we receive it.
