Florida: Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver and Discount

                              Photo by Austin Guhl
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.

    Beware of Nova's online program. They provide the courses needed for a degree & might drop you before completion of final requirements.

    "(4) 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. "

    I don't understand the above subsection. Students who are 60 or above and who attend classes for credit are not awarded academic credit. What?

      I am confused too. The two sentences are contradictory. I can tell you that I attend St. Pete College and have been told that I can take classes with the tuition waiver AND get a degree. I am working on a certificate and only have 5 credit hours to go.

      It's simple, if you don't understand what it means, you are not college material. But, for the dunce class, if you pay you get credit, if you don't pay and audit the class for free you do not get credit.

      I'm the dunce class that asked the question and I've dropped the median IQ in Florida by moving back in 2014. I am a cum laud graduate in Chemistry, and have done graduate work in EE, Software Engineering, MBA, and Health Care Admin with a GPA of around 3.8+. Taught Math and EE at Nuclear Power School, maintained CT, Nuclear medical systems, wrote software in use by Boeing, National Science Foundation. I could go on. However, I sheepishly admit that I do not have a degree in bureaucratic double speak. The good news is that now that I'm in FL, I can take such a course for free.

    Thanks for sharing these great resources! My company specializes in assisted living in Warner NH, and many of our clients choose to spend their winters down in Florida, which means we have traveling caregivers who look after them. This was a great set of resources to find, thank you for sharing!

    Some classes are for credit/others are not. For instance a speech or a learning trip may not be offered for credit. Or some pre-college or introductory classes. The non-credit classes will/might also have a charge which you might have to pay for.
