Scrip FAQ - Isaac Newton Christian Academy

How does the Scrip program earn money?

The school’s Scrip program purchases gift cards at a discount. Then we sell the gift cards to you at full price, or face value.

How does the tuition rebate\credit program work?

Each time you purchase Scrip gift cards, you earn a rebate. 70% of the profit earned will be applied to your family’s account. The Scrip general fund earns the remaining 30%. These funds are used to support the school. The more Scrip gift cards you purchase, the more tuition credit you earn. Tuition credits are applied to tuition first, then to other school fees (e.g.: before or after school care, lunch, other fees).

Tuition credit is applied to your account three times a year, in December, April, and June. Any unused credits will be carried over to the following school year. Any unused Scrip profits earned by families who will not have children enrolled at Isaac Newton Christian Academy the following school year may be assigned by that family to another family. If unassigned, the profits will be diverted to the Scrip general fund.
