This is a comprehensive guide of all colleges in all states that provide reduced or free tuition for senior citizens.
This is a comprehensive guide for all senior citizen tuition waivers, discounts, and auditable classes in the state of Florida. I am working hard to get the information up-to-date covering all fifty states, which is quite a feat. To stay informed on all free classes for seniors near me, check back often for the most recent updates.
THE FIRST YEAR: MAKING THE MOST OF COLLEGE 2010 Florida State Statutes: 1009.26Fee waivers."A state university may waive any or all application, tuition, and related fees for persons 60 years of age or older who are residents of this state and who attend classes for credit. No academic credit shall be awarded for attendance in classes for which fees are waived under this subsection. This privilege may be granted only on a space-available basis if such classes are not filled as of the close of registration. A university may limit or deny the privilege for courses that are in programs for which the Board of Governors has established selective admissions criteria. Persons paying full fees and state employees taking courses on a space-available basis shall have priority over those persons whose fees are waived in all cases where classroom spaces are limited."
More information about this statute can be found here in section 4. Here is a list of colleges, universities, and community colleges for your convenience only. These institutions May provide tuition waivers at their discretion.
