| St. Catherine of Siena T.R.I.P. ProgramTRIP, Tuition Reduction Incentive Program is a program designed to assist families in reducing their tuition costs. This is done by purchasing Gift Certificates from participating merchants. For each certificate that is purchased, the retailer donates a specified percentage. These percentages vary from 2% to 20%, based on the retailer. The percentages of rebate are listed on the TRIP order form next to each retailer. REMEMBER! Unlike other Fund-raising efforts, TRIP directly benefits your family's tuition expenses. Each quarter, rebate credits are calculated for purchased TRIP certificates and applied toward applicable family tuition accounts. These certificates can be used just as you would cash, gift certificate or gift card at the participating merchants offered by the TRIP program. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity, as well as encourage friends and relatives to do the same. There are two methods to purchase certificates: Tuesday Trip Order Form:
Cash & Carry:

Merchants and denominations of certificates are listed on the TRIP
form. Order forms will be sent home with your children or can be picked
up in the school office. Orders must be received by 9:00am on
Tuesdays. Certificates will then be available at 3:20pm on
Thursdays. Certificates can also be sent home with your child if
desired. Because of the value of the certificates, disclaimer form must
be filled out at the beginning of each school year to have them delivered to
you by your student. This schedule may vary during school
holidays. Check the Dialogue for any schedule and merchant updates.
Cash & Carry is available through the school office whenever the office
is open. Not all merchants are available through Cash & Carry so you
may wish to call in advance to be sure. TRIP is not available Tuesday
mornings due to accounting procedures.
