SCRIP TUITION CREDIT PROGRAM -- Start earning tuition credit on your 1st dollar spent!

The SCRIP Tuition Credit Program is available to help families offset costs of Religious Education for their children.  By purchasing Scrip cards from Prince of Peace, families can earn Scrip credit in the current year toward tuition costs for the next year.  Scrip profits for families are calculated annually from April 1 to March 31.  
  • Tuition Credit is earned for next year's tuition on the first dollar spent on Scrip!
  • Tuition Credit is 50% of the Scrip rebate percentage for every purchase; the remaining 50% rebate goes to the parish.   
  • Scrip is available for purchase M/W/F from 8:30am - Noon in the Parish Office, Wednesday evenings 5:00 - 7:00pm during in-person RE classes, and after some the weekend Masses (not all due to COVID-19).
  • Online scrip orders must be received by Noon on Wednesday for pickup on Friday morning or after the Weekend Masses. (Online orders are subject to availability.) 
  • The RE FAMILY NAME must be written on the Scrip Order Form to earn tuition credit for the order.  
  • Scrip purchases may be made using cash or check.
  • Tuition Credit will be applied exclusively to those Scrip purchases made by a family member (parents, grandparents, etc.) for the benefit of the student to receive tuition credit.  Tuition Credit will not be applied to Scrip purchases by any business.
  • Tuition Credits earned will be applied to the tuition in the following year.  In the final year of the Religious Education program, Scrip Credits earned will remain at the Parish.
  • Tuition Credits earned, or the total tuition owed for RE students in the family will not be refunded, but carried forward to future years or transferred to other families for the current or future years.
  • The previous year's RE tuition and fees must be paid in full in order to apply Tuition Credit for the next year. .

Kramer Soderberg--disciple, dad, author, and coach--visited Prince of Peace in April 2021.  He spoke with our religious education families and parishioners, and left everyone with reflection sheets that contained some "homework."

Each week, Kramer's Korner will have reminders and additional resources to help you "Fill Your Cup for Christ."  This week's homework:  Praying the Rosary
