Georgia: Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver and Discount

    Photo by Taylor Deas-Melesh

This is a comprehensive guide for all senior citizen tuition waivers, discounts, and auditable classes in the state of Georgia.  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.

According to the Constitution for the State of Georgia Article VIII. Section VII. Paragraph IV.   Waiver of tuition.

“The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia shall be authorized to establish programs allowing attendance at units of the University System of Georgia without payment of tuition or other fees, but the General Assembly may provide by law for the establishment of any such program for the benefit of elderly citizens of the state. “
