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

SECTION 59-111-320 of the South Carolina Code of Laws states that persons aged sixty and over may attend classes without payment of tuition.

"State-supported colleges and universities, and institutions under the jurisdiction of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education, are authorized to permit legal residents of South Carolina who have attained the age of sixty to attend classes for credit or noncredit purposes on a space available basis without the required payment of tuition if these persons meet admission and other standards deemed appropriate by the college, university, or institution, and if these persons do not receive compensation as full-time employees."
