Families buy the Scrip gift cards at face value—UA keeps the difference. Retailers include: Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Lowe’s, Chick-Fil-A, Olive Garden, Gap, Amazon, and 100’s more. Last year, total sales of $87,000 generated $4,376 of profit. Only 10% of UA families participated! Just imagine, if only 200 families spend $110/month and our school earns an average of 5% on those purchases, we could make $15,000 in one year! How to Order Scrip Gift Cards: 1. Fill out the Scrip order form (found on the Scrip page on the UA website) 2. Attach payment to form and send with your child or drop off at either campus. 3. If cards are available immediately, they will be given to you that day or the next.
