The RaiseRight Program

At St. Joseph School, we are always looking for ways to support our families and make a high-quality, faith-filled education as accessible as possible. One of the easiest and most effective ways to lower your tuition bill is through our RaiseRight program (formerly known as Scrip).

Best of all? It costs you absolutely nothing extra.

How RaiseRight Works

 

RaiseRight is essentially fundraising while you shop. Instead of paying with cash, debit, or credit cards for your everyday purchases, you purchase physical or digital gift cards (eGift cards) through RaiseRight.

  1. Buy at Face Value: You buy a gift card for its exact value (e.g., you pay $100 for a $100 grocery gift card).

  2. Earn a Rebate: Because St. Joe purchases these cards in bulk, the brand rewards us with a rebate, ranging anywhere from 2% to 20%.

  3. Split the Earnings: We split those earnings directly with you! 80% of the rebate goes straight toward your family’s tuition account, while the remaining 20% goes to support our school. (You can also choose to direct your rebate toward another family's tuition or our school's Tuition Assistance Fund)

By simply changing how you pay for things you are already buying—like groceries, gas, morning coffee, and dining out—you can easily shave hundreds of dollars off your annual tuition.
