Tuition and Financial Aid
Information about current tuition and fees is available at this link: http://home.byu.edu/webapp/finserve/content/page/Tuition.html
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 have already contributed to the operations of the university. Non-LDS students, because they will not have made this contribution, are charged higher tuition.
