Your tuition covers the personalized instruction and classes (10-12 hours of total class time). After you complete the TM course, there's ongoing guidance and support as needed at no further cost—for the rest of your life. But most important, you have the technique to benefit from every day of your life.
Maharishi Foundation USA
In the U.S., the TM program is taught by Maharishi Foundation USA, a non-profit educational organization. The TM program is nonprofit in the truest sense: it operates at break even and all funds go to sustain the program and allow more people to learn. A portion of the tuition goes into a National TM Scholarship Fund, used to help those who cannot afford full tuition. By partnering with other philanthropic organizations such as the David Lynch Foundation, the TM technique has been taught free of charge to over 200,000 people in recent years—including veterans with PTSD, Native Americans, inner city youth, the homeless and other at-risk populations.
Payments plans, scholarships, work-study:
Because of the non-profit nature of the TM program, everyone who wishes to learn can do so. Payment plans and work-study options are available. Those who need further assistance in covering their tuition are invited to apply for a National TM Grant—and, for even more assistance, an Asheville TM Scholarship. For more information about payment options, please email us or in Western North Carolina phone 828-254-4350. (Other areas: 888-Learn-TM)

Is the TM technique expensive?
Is learning effective meditation worth as much as what we pay for a new computer? Is it worth the price of a low-end used car? A three-year membership at the gym? All of these things could easily cost as much or more than learning the TM technique. How much is it worth to unfold your inner reserves of creativity, gain relief from stress and enjoy a healthier and more fruitful life? That's a personal decision. The TM course is an investment in yourself.
To help put it in perspective, what other professional service would include free support and follow-up sessions, as much as needed, for the rest for your life? If you think of the TM course tuition as disbursed over a lifetime, it's a few pennies or two per day, at most. Practicing the TM technique twice-daily for even three years costs less than three years of Internet connection.

Scientific research has shown that TM practice leads to a significant reduction in money spent on one's personal healthcare, for both mental and physical health—including decreased doctor visits, less hospitalization and fewer incidents of disease. A recent study published in the American Journal of Health Promotion found that those practicing the TM technique benefited from a 28% decrease in annual medical costs in just five years. The TM technique more than pays for itself in reduced healthcare expenses alone—not to mention the value added: avoidance of suffering and a more productive life.

Why pay tuition for TM classes when other meditations cost less?
Will other practices give the same results?
