Tuition Rebates Using RaiseRight

RaiseRight, formerly known as Scrip, is a fundraising service that families can use to raise money for Stella Maris and get tuition rebates. You can shop online at your favorite retailers by linking through the RaiseRight website or purchase digital or physical gift cards at face value. Grandparents, extended family members, and friends can even use the website to earn tuition rebates for your family (must list the student’s name they are supporting when enrolling).

There is no additional cost to families to start getting money back on purchases you already make. RaiseRight partners with hundreds of businesses and restaurants, so check out the RaiseRight website or app to see how you could be getting rebates today!


How it Works

Make a purchase through the RaiseRight website or using gift cards to see what percentage of the purchase price will be donated back. 50% will go towards your 2024/2025 school year tuition and 50% will go back to SMA. For example, if you purchased a $250 gift card for school uniforms through Lands’ End with a 15% rebate, you will earn $18.75 towards your tuition and $18.75 goes to SMA.


Tuition Rebate Disbursement

Rebates will be applied to Blackbaud Tuition Management accounts at the following schedule.

  1. Purchases made between Sept.1st and December 31st will be applied on your February tuition statement.

  2. Purchases made between Jan. 1st and April 30th will be applied on your June tuition statement.

  3. Purchases made between May 1st and Aug. 31st will be applied on your October tuition statement of the following school year.

If grandparents or other extended family would like to participate, please be sure to have them list the student’s name they are supporting when enrolling.


SMA Group Orders

You can shop through the RaiseRight website at any time without any fees. To avoid fees when purchasing gift cards (banking, credit card, and/or shipping), you can purchase these using cash or check through SMA. To do this, place your order online and select the payment option “Pay Coordinator Directly.” Gift cards will be shipped to SMA for pick-up and you will receive an email when digital gift cards are available in your RaiseRight wallet once the orders are processed. Digital gift cards can be activated immediately if you pay the associated bank or credit card fee at the time of purchase. 


Payments need to be submitted on each payment date to your campus office by the end of the school day. Checks should be made payable to Stella Maris Academy.
