Financial Information for the MOL

Biola University seeks to provide 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. Consequently, every student who attends Biola University already receives a substantial subsidy, made possible by the gifts of alumni, individual friends, interested churches, businesses and corporations. Tuition is the student's contribution to the total cost. (Find out more at the Biola University Financial Aid Office webpage)
