The document provides information about TRIP (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program), a fundraising program available to families of Holland Christian Schools to help offset tuition costs. It describes several ways to purchase gift cards from TRIP at face value, which TRIP then uses to purchase at a discount from retailers, with the difference going towards the family's tuition. Options include pre-ordering physical cards online by check or using electronic payment, as well as instant pickup of cards on Wednesdays at designated schools. Purchasing grocery store gift cards weekly can earn a family over $150 in tuition reductions per year.

1. Order your TRIP Gift Cards!
How to get started?
● To begin participating in TRIP, fill out the registration form (inserted
here or found on the HCS website) and include it with your first order.
You will be assigned your own TRIP number after you have submitted
your first order and turned in your registration form.
● Complete your first order. Order forms can be found online or at any
Holland Christian Schools. A complete listing of stores can be found at
shopwithscrip.com. Since there are more stores available than the
ones listed on the blue pre-order sheet, any stores or denominations
not listed on the blue pre-order form can be written at the bottom of
the form and added to the total.
● WEDNESDAYS are TRIP days from 7:30am until 9:00am. TRIP boxes
are located at each school office for pre-orders at any time but are
collected and processed on Wednesdays. A TRIP coordinator will be at
Rose Park and the High School at the same time. Instant TRIP is only
available at the High School and Rose Park.

2. TRIP Overview
TRIP (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program) is a fundraising program
available to help offset the cost of Holland Christian tuition.
The more you use the TRIP program the more
you earn. Everyday family purchases, like gas
and groceries, become everyday earnings for you.
The Basics:
● You buy gift cards at face value from the TRIP program for stores
you already shop.
● TRIP purchases the gift cards at a discount from the retailer
(discount rebate percentages vary by retailer)
● The difference between face value and what the TRIP program
pays for the card = your earnings
Quick Example:
You spend a big portion of your monthly budget on groceries for your
family. But did you know there’s a way to make all that money work for
you?
Mary spends $100 each week for groceries at Meijers. By buying a $100 gift
card through TRIP, Mary will earn $3.00 towards her tuition. If she
purchases a $100 gift card every week for one year, she will be making
$156.00 which will come off her tuition bill.
HOW MUCH CAN I RAISE PER YEAR?
Groceries 2% Rebate 3% Rebate
$100 per week $104 $156
$150 per week $156 $234
$200 per week $208 $312
Buy these gift cards from us to use at the grocery stores where you
normally shop. You pay face value, your gift card is worth face value,
and you earn a rebate on every gift card you purchase.
It’s really that simple!
PRE-ORDER (Blue Form)
Every Wednesday morning 7:30-9am you can come to a TRIP table found at Rose Park, High School,
Middle School and Southside. You can fill in a Blue Pre-order form and order your chosen gift card
