CPCS RAISERIGHT PROGRAM

What is RaiseRight (formerly Scrip)?
RaiseRight is a simple way to pay for your family’s everyday purchases and earn money back on your tuition. You can use RaiseRight gift cards in place of cash, checks and credit cards at your favorite stores, airlines, hotels, gas stations, restaurants, etc.

How it Works
You purchase RaiseRight gift cards at face value from the CPCS finance office or order online via your computer or RaiseRight App and the school orders those cards at a reduced price. The difference becomes an instant rebate for your family to use towards your tuition bill. It’s that easy! The more you use it, the more benefit you will receive. With just a little planning, you can use RaiseRight cards to shop for your monthly budgeting needs and your family can have the benefit of reducing your tuition bill. You can also choose to donate an additional percentage (above the 20% received) to CPCS or to another family to help with their tuition costs.

Check out these features:

  • Physical Gift Cards – These a regular physical gift cards. They can be ordered through the RaiseRight App and will be delivered to the Finance Office for pick-up bi-monthly. Note: There are limited quantities of QFC/Fred Meyer/Kroger, Safeway/Albertsons, Target, Starbucks, Panera Bread, Target, AMC and Anthony’s Home Port available for immediate purchase in the Finance Office.
  • E-Cards – These can be purchased online and through the RaiseRight App. They are available for most retailers within minutes of purchasing.
  • Reloads – Some retailers offer Reload on the physical gift cards you purchase through RaiseRight, so no more waiting for the next order deadline.

FAQs

Q: What is RaiseRight (formerly Scrip)?
A: RaiseRight is purchasing gift cards or certificates that are used just like cash at participating stores, and getting a percentage back.

Q: Does RaiseRight cost me more money?
A: No! If you pay $50, you get RaiseRight worth $50. You pay the same but the school benefits from your planned shopping.

Q: How long does it take to get the gift cards?
A: Gift Cards are typically ready for pick up on Thursday or Friday the week following the order date. If you order online, some gift cards can be placed in your digital wallet immediately.

Q: How do we earn Tuition Credits?
A: Each RaiseRight item has a percentage discount associated with it. The tuition credit received is 100% of the percentage shown next to the item on the order form.

Q: Now I’m confused!
A: For example:

  • Purchase $500 per month of QFC/Fred Meyer Scrip for 6 months ($3,000 total)
  • The QFC/Fred Meyer discount is 4%
  • You accrue 100% of that discount amount (4% of the amount spent) towards Tuition Credit (remember, a minimum of $50 accumulated is necessary to receive credit)
  • In this example, 4% of the $3,000 you spent to purchase Scrip equals $120.00
  • By simply planning ahead and purchasing the $3,000 in QFC/Fred Meyer, you receive $120 Tuition Credit applied directly to your Cedar Park account.

Q: I still have questions, who can I ask?
