TUITION
CREDITS
You can earn tuition credits! It is as easy as buying groceries.
Several years ago, Friends of Catholic Education (FOCE) initiated a FOOD GIFT CARD PROGRAM to assist parents in reducing the cost of tuition at the Catholic schools in Frederick County. Through an interest-free line of credit, FOCE is able to purchase gift cards at a discount from the following major grocery chains: GIANT, GIANT EAGLE, FOOD LION, SAFEWAY, SHOPPERS FOOD WAREHOUSE, WEIS and SUPER FRESH.
The discount that FOCE receives is passed on to parents who purchase the gift cards as tuition credits. Gift cards ordered from the above grocery stores earn from 3 to 4 percent in tuition credit. The current store discounts are as follows:
| FOOD
LION – 4% |
SAFEWAY
–3% |
| GIANT
–4% |
SUPER
FRESH – 4% |
| GIANT EAGLE – 4% |
WEIS –4% |
| |
|
For example, if you purchase $100 of Weis gift cards every week for a full year; you will earn $4.00/week or $208/year in tuition credits that are directly applied to your tuition bill. You can earn more credits by having family members and friends purchase cards through you and have those credits applied to your tuition account.
Participation in the program is easy. Purchase gift cards at face value by placing an order with any of the captains listed below.
Feel free to call any of the following captains for additional information or orders:
