$CRIP PROGRAM

 

Looking for that perfect Christmas, birthday, wedding, anniversary, special occasion gifts, and/or just everyday shopping needs?  Whether it’s for dining out, buying a good book, flowers, gas, groceries, lumber, prescriptions, video rentals, or to a department store the recipients and families receiving the $crip credit will love it.  $crip is available at the offices of SAE, HTMS, CHS, and the NUACS Business Office.

 

The $CRIP program has been in existence at NUACS since October 2002.  By design, a portion of the proceeds is divided evenly between the family designated and NUACS.  The family will receive a credit on their tuition account on a semi-annual basis, while NUACS’ portion helps to reduce tuition and parish subsidy costs.

 

Have you received and used store gift cards?  Thirteen of our $CRIP businesses are set-up with cards that are exactly like a gift card.  It is simply swiped upon use, with the total purchase automatically being deducted from the stored value.  The cards can not be redeemed for cash.  One important fact to remember is to protect and treat the card as you would cash.

 

We encourage you to use this program, designating your family as the recipient family.  Recruit your friends and relatives to also purchase and use $CRIP.  We are grateful to the vendors for their generosity to our families and our school system.  If you have further questions about $crip please feel free to give us a call at 359-2839.
