What is TRIP?
(Tuition Reduction Incentive Program)

1. How does TRIP reduce my tuition?

(printer friendly form .pdf)

The TRIP program will purchase bulk quantities of gift certificates from various stores. The certificates are sold to participating families at face value with the discount being passed on to individual accounts in the form of a tuition credit. The families of CVCA will receive 75% of the credit, while the remaining 25% will be retained to cover the cost of the program. Any leftover or undesignated credits will go to the tuition assistance fund at CVCA. If you are participating in TRIP as a prospective CVCA family and do not end up sending your child to CVCA, all of your earned credits will go to the CVCA Student Assistance Fund.

3. How do I start?

Complete a registration form and turn in to the TRIP box in the Main Office. You will be sent your TRIP account number with your first order. This number is to be included on all your order forms.

Complete an order form to order your certificates. Enclose a check for the exact amount made out to CVCA TRIP. Your order form must be turned in to the TRIP box in the Main Office by Wednesday at 3:00 pm. All orders are picked up and processed at 8:00 am Thursday morning.

Pick up your certificates at the TRIP table in the Main Entry of CVCA from 2:00 - 3:30 pm the next week on Thursday. You may pick up your certificates yourself, or give permission for your student or another adult to pick them up. For orders not picked up, you may call to schedule an appointment to pick up or wait until the next Thursday pick up time.

Call all your family and friends and see if they would be willing to use TRIP certificates for their purchases to further increase your savings potential! TRIP certificates usually do not expire and can be used by friends and family out of state at the appropriate vendors.

4. How do I use the certificates?

The certificates are cash and cannot be replaced, so be careful! Many merchants will not give back change, so purchase smaller denominations. Debit cards are available from some merchants and are convenient because you can use them until all the change is used.

5. How will I actually receive my tuition credit money?

In November and April, the CVCA Business Office will transfer the balance from your TRIP account to your tuition account.
