OpportunitY To reduce Your fairshare payment

RaiseRight provides an opportunity to earn funds that go directly to your student accounts to reduce their fair share payments.

RaiseRight (formerly Scrip)

RaiseRight is a web and app-based rebate-generating gift card program with 500+ retailers, restaurants, and brands!  

 

You can use the gift cards to buy appliances, travel, and smaller purchases.   

 

90% of the proceeds you earn will be deposited into your student's account and reduce your Fair Share payment, and 10% will go towards the general band fund. 

 

For example, if a gift card has a 10% rebate with a face value of $100, then $10 is the savings ($9 is credited to their student account and $1 goes to the band).   

 

Gift cards can be either physical cards or virtual e-cards. 

 

If you link a credit card a 2.5% charge is added, while payments from a bank account incur only a modest fee of $0.29. This fee is per transaction, not per item.

 

RaiseRight has explanatory videos and extensive FAQ's on its website.  

 

Download RaiseRight Apps through the Apple Appstore or Google Playstore. Links are at the bottom of the RaiseRight homepage.
