Costs & Financial Aid
Biola University seeks to provide quality education for all its students at the most reasonable cost possible. As a private, non-profit insitution, Biola University receives no support from taxes or other public funds. Tuition charges paid by the student do not cover the costs of providing a quality education. Consequently, every student who attends Biola University receives a substantial subsidy, made possile by the gifts of Alumni, individual friends, interested churches and in a few cases, businesses and corporations.
The following information covers the 2004-2005 academic years, and contains financial information pertaining only to the 2004-2005 academic year. Updated information for the 2005-2006 academic year will be made available prior to the 2005-2006 year.
