The Lord commands us to “seek learning, even by study and also by faith” (D&C 88:118). President Gordon B. Hinckley taught: “We believe in education. This Church encourages education. There is incumbent upon every member of this Church, as a mandate from the Lord, to get all the education you can get. . . . There is incumbent upon the Latter-day Saints a dictum from the Lord Himself to educate our minds and our hands.”  President Uchtdorf has said "Education is not merely a good idea, it's a commandment."

BeSmart is a church website that helps youth through the process of college attendance.
