Tuition Reduction Incentive Program

Turn Everyday Purchases Into Tuition Credit

WSCS TRIP makes it possible to earn tuition credit simply by purchasing gift cards for places your family already shops. Through our partnership with RaiseRight, a percentage of qualifying purchases is applied toward your tuition account.

Getting Started

How TRIP Works

Getting started is simple. Register with RaiseRight, purchase gift cards for places you already shop, and earn rebates that can help reduce your family’s WSCS tuition.

Step One

Register

Create your account through RaiseRight and use the WSCS enrollment code DB79EF6A13L.

  • Link a bank account for convenient online payments.
  • Credit card payments are also available, but include a processing fee.
  • Families may also send a check to the school office payable to WSCS TRIP.
  • Future families may begin earning before their child is enrolled in K–8.

Step Two

Place Your Order

Once registered, purchase gift cards online or through the RaiseRight app. You can choose between digital gift cards and physical cards.

  • E-gift cards are typically available within minutes.
  • Physical gift-card orders are processed through WSCS on Tuesdays.
  • Paper orders may also be submitted to the school office with payment.
  • Friends and family can register and direct their rebates toward your tuition account.

Step Three

Earn Tuition Credit

Each participating retailer offers a designated rebate percentage. Those rebates accumulate through TRIP and are applied toward your family’s tuition.

  • Use gift cards for purchases your family already makes.
  • Different retailers offer different rebate percentages.
  • Your earned rebates accumulate throughout the year.
  • Future-family rebates can be saved for future tuition.

Physical Gift Cards

TRIP Tuesdays

Orders and payments for physical gift cards are due in the WSCS office or online by 8:00 a.m. every Tuesday that school is in session. Orders will typically be ready to pick up by the following Tuesday, and WSCS will email you when your order is ready.

Prefer a Paper Order?

Paper orders may be submitted with payment to the WSCS school office and are processed on Tuesdays.
