What is Scrip?
Scrip comes in the form of gift certificates to many local and national businesses. St. Cecilia is able to order the gift certificates at a discount and sell them at face value. This results in a winning situation for all involved as the business and school/faith formation programs both make money.

Tuition Credit
The St. Cecilia Board of Education approved that 50% of the scrip profits generated by your family can be designated as you wish (school tuition, faith formation, or tuition assistance fund).  The other half of the profits are used to support the education programs at St. Cecilia. This is a great way to support the school and faith formation programs and get tuition credit as well.

**********************************************************************************
What is the local tuition assistance fund?   From time to time, families find themselves in need of financial assistance to cover tuition at St. Cecilia due to unforeseen circumstances.  This fund is set up specifically to receive donations to assist families when this happens. The contributions we receive to this fund are awarded only to St. Cecilia Families.  It does not go out to other parishes.

How is it decided who receives local tuition assistance funds?  Each application is reviewed anonymously by the finance committee and a school board member. The decision is made based on amount received from FACTS Student Tuition Organization, family income, family size, and extenuating circumstances.

What is the average amount given to school families during a school year?   A family could expect from $100 up to one-half of their tuition bill. (Please note that for school tuition, this only applies to K-5.)
