Affording St. Elizabeth's
We have a number of opportunities available to families to reduce their tuition. Please see below.
Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit
The Oklahoma Parental Choice Tax Credit program provides a refundable income tax credit of $5,000 - $7,500 for eligible Oklahoma taxpayers who pay, or expect to pay, qualified expenses such as tuition and fees to an eligible private school on behalf of an eligible student that attends or plans to attend an eligible private school during that tax year.
To apply for the tax credit, families will log into the tax credit portal and provide the requested information, along with a Verification of Enrollment Form provided by the school. The portal for the 2026-2027 school year opens in the Spring. We will share the application opening date here as soon as it is known.
Once you submit an application you cannot make changes. The application will have to be withdrawn, then corrected and resubmitted.
If you made an error and need to withdraw your application and resubmit,

and select Parental Choice Tax Credit Application Status.
Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarship (LNHS)
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School is an approved private school by the State Department of Education to receive scholarships through the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarship Fund. Visit their website to determine eligibility and access an application. St. Elizabeth's does not have access to the applications for the LNH. LNH notifies the family first and then St. Elizabeth's when a family is awarded a scholarship.
Catholic Schools Opportunity Fund (CSOF)
The Catholic Schools Opportunity Fund (formerly the Tax Credit Scholarship program) awards scholarships to students whose families might not otherwise be able to afford Catholic school tuition.
Gifts made to the CSOF program qualify for Oklahoma state income tax credits based on tax filing status.

website to determine eligibility requirements or how to make a donation.
St. John the Baptist Financial Aid
St. John's offers financial aid to assist students who could not otherwise afford to attend. Financial aid applications are available February 1st each year and are due by May 1st. The current year's W2 or 1099 must be included with the application. Financial aid will be based on need and after the Parental Choice Tax Credit amounts are awarded. Families will then have 10 calendar days to accept or decline the award. If a family declines the award and opts out of continuous enrollment during this 10-day period, no withdrawal fee will be assessed. Financial aid awards will be null and void after this 10-day period and late withdrawal fees will apply if a family chooses to withdraw from St. Elizabeth's. Application coming soon.
Payment Plan
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School has one payment plan option: 10 months (August - May of each year). Families can opt to pay tuition in full after August. If any part of the tuition becomes more than 30 days overdue, the Accounting Specialist will contact you directly and late fees will apply.
Additional items a student may need/want, outside of tuition, will be billed via FACTS as an Incidental Expense. These include items such as aftercare, band fees, athletics fees, yearbooks, spirit wear, etc... Incidentals will be billed through FACTS and you will receive an invoice via email with the due date. Enrollment for auto-pay for incidentals is required. Cash and check payments may continue to be made to the School Office.
All financial obligations must be paid by the end of the semester or the student may not receive their report card or be allowed to continue at St. Elizabeth's when the new semester begins.
St. Elizabeth's uses FACTS Tuition Management to manage our tuition payment program. Families are required to have a FACTS Financial Account established to process the Annual Commitment Fee, Incidental Expenses and Tuition Payments. Financial information (bank accounts or credit cards) must be maintained within that account.
