SCRIP is a term that means "substitute money." When you purchase SCRIP, you purchase gift certificates or gift cards that are used just like cash and are accepted at many local, regional and national retailers. When you buy SCRIP, you pay the full face value (you buy a $25 gift card for $25). Resurrection purchases SCRIP at a discounted cost and the difference between our cost and the face value you pay is the profit which benefits our school.
