Scrip

Simply stated, it is using store gift certificates (gift/debit) instead of cash or check. Using Scrip is a way to shop for goods or services while reducing tuition and supporting the Lord’s ministry at Eastside.

Why Scrip?

You have the option of applying 50% of the income generated by your purchases to a student who has a completed Scrip Tuition Account application on file in the Scrip office. Any student of Eastside Lutheran School or any future student may establish a Scrip Tuition Account by completing the required applications. All applications are online and can be downloaded (see below). The remaining 50% of income will be used to support Eastside’s Tuition Assistance Program

How do I purchase Scrip?

You may pay with cash or check, payable to Eastside Lutheran School Scrip. You may also order online at www.raiseright.com.  Orders must be in by 8:30am on Monday for delivery on Fridays.  Your student will bring the scrip cards home.  The RaiseRight app also makes it easy to access and use your eGift cards anytime, anywhere.
