Indiana Tuition Discount Programs
Indiana offers a public college tuition remission program for residents aged 60 and above. The schools are required to give a minimum of 50% off in-state tuition up to 9 credit hours a semester. All associated mandatory, programs, and course/class fees are the responsibility of the student. In addition, the fee remission is not retroactive and cannot apply to previous terms.
Some schools, such as Ivy Tech, Vincennes, and Marian University waive 100% for a credit course. The University of Indianapolis offers persons 65 years of age or older and retired may register for regular undergraduate courses at the University through the tuition-free Senior Citizens Program. Enrollment is based on space availability. Persons participating in the program pay any course or laboratory fees.
