Michigan: Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver and Discount


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

This is a list of the public college and universities in the state of Michigan, and this list is for your convenience.  Not all colleges and universities participate in tuition waivers or discounted tuition for senior citizens.  I have provided links to the institutions that do have information for waivers on their websites, and if no tuition waivers for senior citizens were found, I listed that as well.  To find out if your chosen institution offers tuition discounts or waivers contact them at the numbers provided.
