Abstract
Under the sponsorship of the National Retired Teachers Association and the American Association of Retired Persons, policies of higher education institutions and state governments were analyzed regarding adoption of free or reduced tuition for older learners. Results indicate that two‐year and public institutions were more likely to have adopted tuition policies, as well as special learning activities; two‐year institutions were more likely to offer courses for audit, while four‐year institutions were more likely to offer courses for credit; support services were generally lacking; and 25 states had adopted no tuition policy regarding older learners, while 22 states had adopted such legislation and it was pending in 4 states.
