FINANCIAL INFORMATION B iola University seeks to provide a quality education for all its students at the most reasonable cost possible. As a private, non­ profit institution, Biola University receives no support from taxes or other public funds. Tuition charges paid bythe students do not cover the costs of providing a quality education. Consequently, every student who attends Biola University receives a substantial subsidy, made possible by the gifts of alumni, individual friends , interested churches and in a few cases, businesses and corporations. The expenses of students at Biota University are shown in the following schedules. The university reserves the right to change all student charges, modify its services or change its programs of study should economic conditions, curriculum revisions or na­ tional emergency make it necessary to do so.
