Academy of Our Lady introduced a Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (“TRIP”) lin  December 2003 . As of today, the TRIP program offers only “scrip.”  We hope to announce the expansion or our TRIP program to include online shopping down the road. 

Participation in our TRIP program is not mandatory.  Unlike most TRIP programs, 100% of the amounts earned are credited back to your family.  The only cost to you is an upfront $10 fee which will offset program expenses (i.e. shipping and envelopes).  Last year through the TRIP Plan, 60 AoOL families saved a total of over $25,000 in tuition by purchasing scrip.  This is not a fundraiser and requires no selling or any additional spending on your part.  The TRIP Program is simply a way for you to reduce your tuition costs by earning discounts on money you already spend.  Even if you only participate by purchasing scrip for your groceries you save.  For example, if you spend $100 per week in Shop Rite, you can reduce your tuition cost by over $200.

TO PARTICIPATE, YOU MUST RETURN:
(1) a completed registration statement,
(2) a completed order form (please double check for accuracy) and
(3) a check payable to ‘Academy of Our Lady TRIP’ for the amount of your order plus the $10 upfront fee (the upfront fee is being waived if your credits are given to Tuition Assistance Program or the AoOl Annual Appeal). 
All should be sent to the office in sealed envelopes marked “SCRIP”. 

Late orders will be processed with the following order.   A pick-up “area” is set up outside the school business office during the designated times.  Mrs. Keenaghan has graciously offered to help with “after hours” pick-up on Wednesday for working parents who choose not to use the envelope system.

The TRIP coordinator is Jeanne Vicari.  If you have any questions you can send a note or call. As always your patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
