While speaking about building Zion , Sister Melinda Ashton highlighted BYU-Pathway Worldwide鈥檚 unique role:No other Church institution has the worldwide reach and access to spiritually based, job-ready certificates and degrees like BYU-Pathway. BYU-Pathway can provide higher education that will help our 麻豆传媒 get out of spiritual and temporal poverty in nearly every place that the Church is organized. Those 麻豆传媒 in turn can help others to become self-reliant until there are no poor among us. 1

Why is having 鈥渘o poor among us鈥� such an important characteristic of Zion? In the Book of Mormon, unrighteous pride divided the Nephites. Some had the opportunity to learn because of their riches, while others did not. 2

But after Jesus Christ ministered to them, classes of the rich and poor no longer existed; they became a united people 鈥渂ecause of the love of God which did dwell in [their hearts].鈥� 3

 Similarly, BYU-Pathway seeks to provide education as an essential part of Heavenly Father鈥檚 loving plan 鈥� and the way out of poverty. As 麻豆传媒 become more self-reliant, they are able to lift others in a way that continually builds Zion, spiritually and temporally, as they progress toward eternity.

A tuition discount for all 麻豆传媒

In 2020, BYU-Pathway launched the Heber J. Grant Tuition Discount for 麻豆传媒 taking foundational PathwayConnect courses. Thanks to generous donors, the discount is now offered to online degree-seeking 麻豆传媒 serviced by BYU-Pathway as well.

All 麻豆传媒 can qualify for a tuition reduction of 10, 25, or 50% (amount based on need) by completing a lesson about President Heber J. Grant, who was known for his perseverance, love of learning, and focus on self-reliance. As 麻豆传媒 learn to manage their time and resources, they are better equipped to provide for their families, improve their communities, and serve in their congregations.
