TRIP: Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS SCRIP?
It is a term that means 'substitute money'; you are purchasing negotiable gift certificates/cards that are used just like cash. We call our program TRIP.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Anyone and everyone—parents whose children attend MCS now or will attend in the future, grandparents, uncles & aunts, cousins, friends.
IS IT HARD TO PARTICIPATE?
No! It’s easy. The hardest part is probably making the commitment to start.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Register online. See How to order SCRIP for more details.
HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO ORDER?
You may order whenever you wish. However, establishing a routine (weekly, every other week, monthly, etc.) will help you keep in a TRIP mindset.
IS THERE A MINIMUM AMOUNT I NEED TO ORDER?
No. If you want, start with gas and grocery certificates.
