What is Scrip?
- Scrip is a term that means “substitute money.”
- When you purchase Scrip, you’re purchasing gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use Scrip to pay for everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials.
- Scrip is a way to earn credit towards a student’s ILS tuition account.
- ILS purchases gift cards at a discount and then sells them to ILS supporters at face value.
- This also generates support for tuition assistance and other school programs.
- The goal is for you to purchase scrip and use it in place of money when you go shopping.
- You can support school programs and cut tuition costs without spending a penny more than you normally would!
What will happen to the proceeds?
The income generated by the purchase of Scrip will be split 50/40/10: 50% of the revenue will be applied to a current ILS student’s tuition of your choice or to the General Tuition Assistance Fund, 40% of the revenue will be given to the Charger Parent Association (CPA), and 10% of the revenue will be used for administrative costs of the program.
Example: The revenue from the use of Jewel Osco Scrip is 4%. The purchase of $100 of Jewel Scrip will generate $4.00 in revenue. $2 would be credited to the participating account holder’s tuition account or the General Tuition Assistance Fund, $1.60 would be designated to support CPA, and $.40 would be designated for the administrative costs.
How do I enroll in the program?
1. Set up an account at www.shopwithscrip.com in four easy steps using the school’s enrollment code C9L8F42A21L17.
2. Fill out and return the ILS Scrip Program Enrollment form (click here) to either school office.
(Both of these steps need to be completed before any credit can be applied to a specific student’s tuition account.)

How do I place my order?
After you have enrolled, go to the shopwithscrip.com website, select the cards you want to purchase and follow the prompts to place your order.
How do I pay for my order?
1. You can pay by cash or check. When using this option, please print a receipt after placing your order online. The payment and receipt must be dropped off in the Scrip lock box located at either school office by 3:30PM on Mondays.
2. You can pay using a secure electronic checking withdrawal service called Presto Pay and the payment will be taken directly from your checking account. You can set up your Presto Pay account on the shopwithscrip.com website. (Please sign up for Presto Pay three business days before you plan to place your first order to allow time for the verification process.)
When and how will I get my order?
Orders will be ready for pick up/delivery every Friday by 11AM. Preference of delivery and signature authorization must be completed on the enrollment form. You can have orders sent home with a specified student (PreK-6th Grade) or pick up your order in either school office. JH/HS students will be allowed to pick up orders in the high school office upon signing that they picked up your order. Click here to see 2011-2012 Scrip schedule.
Can relatives and friends order online and help reduce my child’s tuition costs?
Yes, they just need to follow the two steps of enrollment listed before. However Scrip orders will not be mailed, so arrangements have to be made for pick up/delivery of orders.
Can I use Scrip to make payments on a store’s credit card?
Kohl’s is presently the only store that allows you to use Scrip to pay off the balance on your Kohl’s credit card.
I have a question about the ILS Scrip program, who do I contact?
Please send an email to scrip@illinoislutheran.org.
Can I get a refund or replacement if I lose one of the cards that I purchased through the ILS Scrip program?
No, Scrip is like cash. If you lose it, it’s gone.
