Frequently asked questions

Your annual household income is the combined gross incomes (before taxes and expenses) of all members of your household. We won't ask you for evidence of your household income, we rely on your integrity.

If you choose to pay in four installments during check-out, your total course fee is simply divided into four payments. We don’t charge interest or require a credit check. The first payment is charged before your TM course begins and the remaining three are auto-charged at monthly intervals for the following three months.

To qualify as a full-time student, an undergraduate student must be taking a minimum of 12 credits per semester. A graduate student must be taking a minimum of 9 credits per semester.

Hybrid and in-person courses both include a one-on-one personalized instruction session. They also include follow-up sessions that take place in person, online, or a combination of these options, according to your preference. Whether you opt for a hybrid or in-person TM course, you will be guided throughout your course by a certified TM instructor. After your course, you will also benefit from ongoing support from your instructor, or any TM instructor across the U.S. Both courses also include access to the TM app, which comes with a TM timer, a library of knowledge, and access to group meditations.

Over the past several years, full TM scholarships have been given to more than one million at-risk students, military veterans and others in need through partnerships with other non-profit organizations and foundations.

Most of the TM course takes place according to your preference: either in person or remotely. The first session, however, is always held in person, at a local TM Center or teaching space. The TM course is offered in 170+ locations in the U.S., including most major cities.

Taught by a non-profit

For over 60 years, the Maharishi Foundation has made Transcendental Meditation available worldwide, training instructors who have brought the practice to millions of people. It has also been involved in many charitable initiatives, including providing free meditation instruction to under-served communities and supporting the establishment of TM Centers in developing countries.
