TUITION  REDUCTION

PROGRAM

Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.)

Eastside Christian School is a participant in a tuition reduction program with a wide array of area businesses. Families can purchase gift cards through the school's T.R.I.P. committee and use them as cash when shopping at participating stores. The T.R.I.P. committee acquires these certificates at a discount (2%-19%) and sells them to families at face value. The discount or rebate is applied to the purchaser's tuition account, thus lowering their cost of tuition.

This program puts each family in charge of working to reduce the cost of their tuition. The more you participate, the more reduction you will see in your tuition cost. You are welcome to participate in the program in order to help someone you know at the school, such as grandchildren, or you may ask that your account be applied to a general T.R.I.P. fund, which would go directly to the school.

Meijer Community Rewards Program
In addition to T.R.I.P., Meijer offers an easy way for Eastside supporters to earn money for the school. Simply apply for a Meijer Credit Card or Meijer Community Rewards Card, and swipe it when you get groceries. Unlike T.R.I.P., the money from the Meijer Community Rewards (MCR) goes in the Promoters fund.
  • Meijer Community Rewards (MCR) may be earned only on Meijer purchases paid by Meijer credit card (which has been linked to your MCR account), cash or a PIN-based debit card.
  • Purchases paid with a linked Meijer credit card earn 1%. Purchases paid with a PIN- based debit card or cash and a swiped Meijer Community Rewards Card earn 0.5%
  • You must list the Eastside Christian School organization code on your Meijer credit card application or Meijer Community Rewards Card application. Our organization code is: 147919.
  • Apply for a Meijer Credit Card at any Meijer store or visit Meijer.com/creditcard.
  • Purchases made at any Meijer store, gas station, convenience store and online are eligible for MCR rewards.
