Retiree planning to return to college. Is education free?

Question

After 48 years of working a hard life, I will retire at 65 years and want to catch up with my education. I am a citizen. Are there any educational benefits to help seniors? I want to get my degree. Any recommendations on educational help for retirees? Thank you.

Answer 1

Not to my knowledge

Answer 2

Congrats!  Both on your retirement and your new school plans.

I found out that a lot of schools offer senior citizens the ability to audit classes for free or to take classes for credit at huge discounts.  The link below offered a list of states that offer special tuition programs for the 'non-traditional student.'  

Good luck with everything!
