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

  1. A little update to some of this information. New Mexico Junior College (and perhaps the others as well, didn't check) no longer waives fees for over 55. They waive tuition. See page 3 of this link: http://www.nmjc.edu/aboutnmjc/15-16Catalog.pdf
