Why use SCRIP?
SCRIP is fundraising for our school while you shop and purchase items that you are already buying. Shop with gift cards or e-gift cards instead of cash or credit and earn cash for tuition and our schools. With 750+ brands to choose from, there is a brand for every household need or wish list. Choose from traditional physical gift cards, eGift cards, and reloading of many physical gift cards. 

You can reduce the amount of your tuition simply by purchasing SCRIP on a regular basis for things you are already buying. If you don't pay tuition, you can help another family or it will all go to help our schools.

Who can use SCRIP?
Anyone--parents, students, teachers, administrators, grandparents, neighbors, and businesses. You can ask your parents, other relatives, and friends to purchase SCRIP and apply the tuition credit to your account.

How does SCRIP generate funds for families and the school?

• If you have students in school, you automatically receive 50% of your earnings in tuition credit. If you want physical gift cards sent home with a student, you'll need to fill out the credit/delivery form (above).
• If you don't have students in school (grandparents, other relatives, friends) and want to give your credit to someone for tuition, you must fill out the credit/delivery form to indicate whom you want your credit to go. You may split your credit among more than one family. We keep the forms on file at the Gilbertville Farmers State Bank location. Leave your signed form at the bank, and we will update your information.

How is all of this possible?
The Great Lakes SCRIP center acts on behalf of churches, schools and other non-profit organizations to purchase gift cards in volume from grocery stores, department stores, and other retailers. Great Lakes buys with cash up front, so participating retailers offer them a substantial discount. Our organization buys the scrip from Great Lakes Scrip Center at a discount and re-sells it to you at face value. The difference-- from 2-15% or more--  we retain and share with families.  50% goes to BCSS and contributes a substantial amount of money to us each year. You choose for the other 50% to go to family tuition or to BCSS. Tuition credit accrues throughout the school year through June 30, and your credit is applied to your tuition statement in the fall. If you have a senior who is your last student in the school system, you will accrue credit through April 15th and receive that credit prior to paying your final tuition bill before graduation.

Where can I purchase SCRIP?

• Shop online through RaiseRight where you may select e-gift cards, reload cards, or order physical cards. For physical cards paid for online, the order will be sent to school to be filled the same or next business day If you choose to pay by cash or check, your order will be filled upon receipt of your payment.  Orders can also be picked up at the bank on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. We order national vendors we don't keep in stock on Thursday mornings.
• Send your paper order form with payment to school with your student (K-12). Your order will be filled and sent back home with your student if you have completed the Tuition Credit and Delivery Permission Form.
• Purchase SCRIP directly at Farmers State Bank in Gilbertville on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during regular bank hours. Payment must be by check (not cash) for security reasons.
