What is SCRIP?

SCRIP is fundraising for our school while you shop and purchase items that you are already buying. This doesn't cost you any more than you are already spending.

How does SCRIP generate funds for us?

The Great Lakes SCRIP center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase large amounts of scrip from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Because the SCRIP is purchased with cash up front, the participating retailers offer a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount, and re-sells the certificates at face value. The bulk of the discount - from two to fifteen percent or more - is retained by us, the Bosco System, as revenue. This program contributes a substantial amount of money to our school system.

Why should I use SCRIP?

When you purchase SCRIP, one percent (1%) of your purchase is applied to your school account as a tuition credit. You can reduce the amount of your tuition simply by purchasing SCRIP on a regular basis for things you are already buying.

Who can use SCRIP?

Anyone can use SCRIP. Parents, students, teachers, administrators, grandparents, neighbors, and businesses. Anyone who is interested in reducing their tuition for themselves or for their family members can do so by purchasing SCRIP. Ask your parents, brothers, and sisters to purchase SCRIP and apply the tuition credit to your account. Each family has a family ID number, if you do not know your number, please contact the school and ask for it.
