The Parish of Christ the King/Marquette Catholic School Financial Assistance Program is intended to assist families afford a Catholic education as well help on a temporary basis those who encounter a sudden and life-changing event.

Marquette offers several different tuition assistance programs for students based on being a member of Catholic parish of the Diocese of Oklahoma, being a parishioner of Christ the King, or soley on financial aid alone for Vertas.

The Saint Francis of Assisi Tuition Assistance Trust was established in 1999 to ensure the ability of Catholic families who might not otherwise send their children to a Catholic school, the opportunity to afford a Catholic education. The creators understood the challenges of financing Catholic schools so they created a lasting endowment that would assist every accredited Catholic school in the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma by offering need-based tuition assistance for their school families. No family receives full tuition assistance. Every family is expected to pay some portion of tuition. Since 2000, the Trust has awarded over $6 million in financial aid to approximately 7,000 students. Reminders and instructions to apply for funds are distributed to school families annually from each accredited school in the diocese. The annual application deadline is April 15 .  Learn more

For over 20 years, the Parish of Christ the King has provided tuition assistance funds for Marquette students in need through the Adopt-a-Student Program (AAS). One hundred percent of all funds raised from this program support Marquette students. This annual appeal relies on the generosity of our parish community and is administered every fall.
