Tuition Reduction Incentive Program

Milpitas Community Chinese School (MCCS) is offering a tuition reduction incentive program (TRIP) to all families. By purchasing gift certificates from the school, you can reduce your tuition at no additional cost to you.

Here's how the program works. MCCS buys gift certificates (also known as SCRIP) from participating merchants at a discount of 2% to 20%, and sells them at face value to you. You can buy anything in the store with SCRIP that you would normally buy with a check, cash or credit card. The credit earned is accumulated and tracked individually. The discount is then split equally between you and MCCS, 50% to be credited to your tuition account, and 50% to be used for the betterment of the students. Your share of credit will be paid out to you in the form of a check at the end of the school year.

For example, $100 of Ranch 99 Market scrip buys you $100 of merchandise in Ranch 99 Market. The store discount is 6%, or $6.00. By using SCRIP, you have earned $3.00. Depending on your family's spending habits, this can add up to a significant savings.

SCRIP also makes wonderful gift for all those special occasions throughout the year: birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers, graduation, and of course, Christmas! There are hundreds of participating merchants. You can check out the list of merchants in

So how do you order SCRIP? It's easy. Come to the MCCS office each Saturday whenever the school is in session. Fill out an order form and prepaid your orders with cash or check, payable to MCCS.

SCRIP for Albertson's, Ranch 99 Market, Lion Food Center, Lucky 7 (Dai Chung) Market, and Ocean Market are generally available immediately on a first-come-first-serve basis, while supplies last. Other SCRIP is generally ready to be picked up the following week.

If you have any question, please stop by the MCCS office between 9:30 - 11:30am. We will be happy to assist you.
