In searching for an exact statute concerning tuition waivers for senior citizens in the state of Louisiana, I have been unable to locate it. However, I will continue to look and update this entry when I can locate it. Here are a list of all colleges, universities and community colleges in the state. Not all instituitions may have senior citizens waiver or discounts including some of the ones listed below. Colleges that I found a direct indication that they provided discounts or free tuition has a link underneath the college.
Update: Concerning RS 17: 1807
"§1807. Persons over fifty-five; exemption from tuition; fifty percent reduction in cost of textbooks
A. Any person age fifty-five years or over who registers for one or more courses of instruction at a public college or university in this state and who is a resident of this state shall be exempt from the payment of tuition and other registration fees and shall receive a fifty percent reduction in the cost of textbooks, reference books, manuals, and other aids to instruction which are required by any course in which such student is enrolled when purchased from a public college or university operated bookstore.
B. Any funds lost to any public college or university as a result of this Section shall be reimbursed to the college or university by the state.
C. The tuition exemption and reduction in textbook costs provided in this Section shall be provided only if and to the extent that there are sufficient funds appropriated by the legislature to reimburse the public college or university granting them.
Acts 1990, No. 824, §1, eff. July 24, 1990; Acts 1995, No. 307, §1."

I have asked LSU about this and they stated that they do this for persons aged 65 and older. I am trying to find out what that change is based on, when the law says 55. I'd be interest in what you find out.
The LSU Registrar's office just told me 65 years of age as well and that it would be reduced. What gives?
DeleteI have searched the General Laws and this is what I have found. Thank you for making me aware.
ReplyDeleteI also spoke with the Registrar's office and was told 65. Does anyone have any other information on this?
DeleteThe number you have listed for LSU is incorrect. This is the office number to some guy in a Financial Department. The real number is 225-578-1174
ReplyDeleteThanks for this update to find the 55+ Community in Massachusetts and make them in single organisation.
ReplyDeleteI was told that the original law, Act 585 of 1975, established the reduced tuition to age 65. Revised Statutes after that lowered the age, but said " Any funds lost to any public college or university as a result of this Section shall be reimbursed to the college or university by the state." Since the state doesn't reimburse, they said the Board of Supervisors didn't adopt it.
