You can earn money to pay for school expenses by purchasing gift cards (scrip) through UC Academy. It’s that simple!
Scrip is an optional program that UC Academy offers to our school families to help offset eligible school expenses such as:
- Choir Fees
- Parking permits
- Sports spirit pack
- P.E. uniforms
- Servanthood hours
- Registration fee
- Drama fees
- Field trips
- Tuition
How do I earn free money?
All you need to do is buy Scrip (gift cards) for the things you are currently buying (food, clothing, toys, gifts, gasoline and other everyday essentials) through UC Academy. A portion of your hard-earned money will be returned to you in the way of a credit to your family’s Scrip Account. Earn extra credit by having your family and friends purchase Scrip through UC Academy, and the credit they earn will automatically be applied to your account.
Scrip profits are split between UC Academy and enrolled school families. UC Academy families will earn 60% and UC Academy will earn 40%. The percentage that goes to UC Academy will be used towards various purchases such as lockers and computers for the students.
If you place your order online at Raiseright.com, or on the RaiseRight app, you will have the option of using (direct debit from your bank account with a $.29 convenience fee) or credit card (Visa or Mastercard with a 3% fee) or (debit card with a 1% fee) to pay for the order or by submitting cash or check to the Finance office. RaiseRight uses the safe, reliable NACHA electronic fund transfer system.
