T.R.I.P. COORDINATOR Rhonda Clauss 480-897-7031 Email: gccstrip@graceaz.com What is T.R.I.P.?
- T.R.I.P. is a Tuition Reduction Incentive Program. We purchase gift certificates at a discounted price from area merchants and national SCRIP organizations.
- We then sell these certificates at face value to parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers or any interested person.
- 80% of the difference in the discounted price and the face value is then credited to your tuition account as a rebate to help reduce the cost of sending your student to GCA.
- T.R.I.P rebates may be applied to your family account.
- We also have several accounts that benefit financial aid, sports programs, or academic departments here at GCA for those who want their rebates directed there instead of a tuition account.
Who Can Use T.R.I.P.?
- GCA parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers or any interested person.
