What is the SCRIP Program? 

The SCRIP program is a national fundraising program that Albany Christian School has developed to assist families in lowering their tuition costs and to support the continued growth of ACS. The stores that participate in the program sell their gift cards and certificates to ACS at discounted rates. Families purchase these gift cards at face value. The discount earnings are then accumulated throughout the year. In November and May of each year, the earnings are credited to your account. Families receive 50% of the discount earned. Approximately 5% goes to cover the cost of the program (shipping, bank fees, etc.) The remaining 45% is credited to the school. 

Who can participate? 

Albany Christian School families, friends, relatives – even families who are planning to have their children at Albany Christian in the future can participate. We can save up to 5 years for any family thinking of future ACS students. Any unused funds will be credited to the school at the end of the 5 year period. 

How do I apply? 

Just visit the www.shopwithscrip.com website and sign up for an account.  You will need the enrollment code to connect your account to the school.  Please email office@albanychristian.org if you would like to get the enrollment code to join this program. ​Once you have set-up your account you are free to place orders for E-gift cards. *If ordering physical gift cards, a shipping fee will be added to the order in cases that the school's rebate portion does not cover shipping costs.

How does it work? 

You will need to set-up an account with www.shopwithscrip.com. To order, simply go to the shop tab on the shopwithscrip website,  specify the types and amounts of certificates you want and submit the order.  If you would like to pay online using your checking account, follow the instructions to set-up PrestoPay.  Once that is set-up, you will be able to pay as you place your order.  If you would prefer to pay by check, you may bring that to the school office.  If you choose to pay by check in the office, once that payment has been made, the E-Gift Card will be released and you will be able to download it.
