The cost of BYU is greatly reduced due to tithing funds from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Planning is such an important part of your financial path here at BYU--and in the future. The scriptures provide some insight on how to do this.

Luke 14:28: "For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?"

If we "liken all scriptures unto us," (1 Nephi 19:23) we could say, "For which of you, intending to get an education, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost?" The wise student will follow this counsel and figure out how much it will cost to attend BYU.
