Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
This school always has something fun and interesting to look forward to during the week, and including weekends. They have ongoing sports and dances. They also have many volunteer opportunities for you to participate in.
Jillise from Boise, ID
The feelilng up here is amazing! There are so many people who care about you, especially your professors. There are also so many things to be involved with! I have never been bored because I am always doing something!
Brittany from Kaysville, UT
It is cheaper for me to go to school in Idaho at BYU than it would be for me to stay in-state in CA. Definitely worth it.
Emily from Roseville, CA
BYU-Idaho is one of the cheapest colleges out there because of the support from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But even though it's cheap, you don't miss out on anything. You get the best quality education for the best price! Also, there is so much to do on campus. Dances, sports, and concerts are among the most popular, but the list is much longer. We have pretty much everything you can think of!
Kesha from Idaho Falls, ID
Money is a major issue for me. My parents are not able to help me at all with paying for college. BYU-Idaho offers so many scholarships and grants! Tuition in here is cheaper for me than it was back in Arizona, even for instate-tuition. My money has been put to good use and not wasted on any classes.
Melissa from Gilbert, AZ
This school costs very little. For what you gain at this school, you definitely get your money's worth and more. Church members also pay for quite a bit through their tithing.
Cameo from Yucaipa, CA
Because this university is based on the tithing dollars of the church members, the tuition is more affordable for all who want to attend. You receive so much for the amount you pay--and it is all worth it!
Alexa from Rio Rancho, NM
Tuition for this 4-year university is dramatically reduced compared to other 4-year public schools. Teachers are often graded better than ivy-league professors, and since they have a personal interest to see their students succeed, they provide direct and hands-on teaching; no student teachers giving lectures in lieu of the professor him/herself.
Steven from Henderson, NV
byu-idaho has all the top notch benefits of a 4-year university, however, the price for tution maxes at 1735$ while apartments go for 1035 for one semester!
