The New School of Berkeley

There are two programs that New School uses to raise money for the Scholarship Fund: eScrip and SchoolPop. In each case New School receives around 3% of the value of the purchases you make at participating stores. That means that if you spend, for example, $100 a week on groceries and gas you could be contributing $150 per year to the scholarship fund … at no cost to you.

Please browse the lists of participating stores below and consider signing up for these programs; with little effort on your part you can be a major contributor to the scholarship fund which is an important part of New School's place in the community.

You register your debit/credit cards with eScrip and SchoolPop and when you use those cards at participating stores, New School gets a percentage of your purchase. Once you have registered there is no more work; it's all automatic and there are no registration fees. Full details and privacy policies are posted at the web sites - see below.
