Tuition and Financial Aid

Because a significant portion of the university’s operating costs are paid from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, students who are tithe-paying members of The Church of Jesus Christ have already contributed to the operations of the university. Non-LDS students are charged higher tuition because they have not made this contribution.
