TRIP
The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (TRIP) is intended to provide additional support to families in the payment of their tuition. Participation is open to all parents, grandparents, relatives, friends and anyone in the community who wishes to support tuition reduction at PCA.

The TRIP program purchases gift cards/certificates from “Shop with Scrip”, who supplies cards for various restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores, and service businesses. “Shop with Scrip” offers rebates on the gift cards purchased resulting in the school and family sharing in the rebate. For example, a $100 gift card with a 4% rebate brings a $4 rebate. Of this rebate, 90% ($3.60) is credited to the family tuition account while the remaining 10% ($.40) is held by the school for administration fees or is applied to the school scholarship fund. There are hundreds of retailers with rebates ranging from 2% - 16%. Keep in mind these are monies you would already be spending, but with a little planning, you can significantly reduce your tuition by purchasing gift cards in advance!

Your tuition reduction rebate can be applied to your individual account, another family’s account or the general PCA Scholarship Fund account.
