It is here too, to most people. Usually more in the illicit sense, as in a person who needs another scrip of Oxycodone from their less-than-ethical doctor.

In monster's case, it is a type of fundraiser where people buy giftcards ("scrip") from her for places they already shop at, but the school has purchased them in bulk at a discount so they make a profit on them.

Exactly. Just like that. Over here it is illicit, as in people selling their prescription drugs. I've heard it can be a tidy little extra income for pensioners...

Originally, the term was for... essentially gift cards, except it was used to pay employee salaries.

Script could also be a snippet of computer programming. While I'm not a h4ck3r, I have been referred to as a script kitty. Could also refer to (old skool) military wages.
