<p>I am not a member of the LDS Church, would scholarships at BYU be available to me?</p>
<p>As far as I’m aware, no. However, compared to out of state or private tuition, Non-LDS tuition isn’t awful- its currently under $5000 per semester. As a comparison, University of Utah OOS tuition exceeds $20000 per year LDS members get such low tuition because their parents have been paying tithes to the church for years.
Remember though, attending BYU as a non church member does not exclude you from the church rules implemented at the school. If you are a guy, your hair must be kept to a certain length and facial hair is restricted to some extent. If you’re a girl you must wear clothes that adhere to the church’s modesty rules. Make sure to look up the Honor Code and make sure you’re ok with what you’ll be asked to do (or more specifically, be asked NOT to do) before you make a decision on attending the school.
Good luck in making your decision</p>
<p>Upon further investigation, LDS membership is only necessary for one scholarship, but as 70% of he scholarships come from tithe money, I’m sure preference is given to members. The available scholarships generally cover full or half MEMBER tuition, so you’d be left with half or 3/4 the amount of tuition if you got a scholarship.
I hope I was semi-helpful.</p>
