The Senior Citizen Tuition Credit Affidavit credits up to $857.00 toward tuition per semester for students enrolled in an undergraduate program and up to $1320.00 for students enrolled in a graduate program per semester. This form must have a valid ID that verifies age. You must be 60 years old, a graduate or an undergraduate, and a Massachusetts resident for at least one year. This affidavit cannot be used for Continuing and Professional Education courses.

The University does not offer tuition waivers (100% of the cost) but tuition credits (a portion of the cost) for State of Massachusetts employees.  The amount for full-time undergraduate students is $857 per semester.  Please note that this cannot be combined with other tuition credits, including J&A Adams or Koplik Scholarships.
