Tuition Increase Canceled Due to Economy
Due to the state of the economy, BYU’s undergraduate and graduate tuition will not increase for the 2002–03 school year. This will mark the first time BYU has not had a tuition increase since the 1973–74 school year.
Undergraduate tuition for the new school year will remain $1,530 per semester, and graduate tuition will remain $1,930 per semester. Law school and graduate school of management tuition will remain $3,070 per semester.
BYU anticipates that normal increases in tuition rates will occur in the future.

Financial Services Institute Opens for Business
BYU has established the H. Taylor Peery Institute of Financial Services, housed in the Marriott School of Management.
Named for former Bank of America executive and Silicon Valley developer H. Taylor Peery, the institute will help recruit faculty, develop course material, and fund research. It will also provide students with employment, internships, and field studies in banking, financial planning, insurance, real estate, and risk management.
Formation of the institute is made possible by a $3 million endowment from Peery’s children, Richard and Nancy Marriott and Richard and Mimi Peery. The endowment adds to a $1 million endowment created by Ron and Kaye Gunnell and other donors.
