Iowa: Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver and Discount

             Photo by Drew Dau

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

If you are a senior citizen and reside in the state of Iowa there are a few colleges that offer some educational opportunities.  One will extend an audit of credit classes for 1/2 the cost of tuition.  Others provide educational opportunities through Lifelong Learning.  If I have left any out that apply, please feel free to comment and let me know.  The colleges and community colleges that have not been listed did not provide any information on educational opportunities for senior citizens that I could find.

 These are the educational opportunities at the universities.
