Most of these waivers only cover the tuition portion of your bill, which is $24 per credit. Therefore, for a 3-credit state-supported course, the waiver would reduce the bill by $72. In most cases the fees are not waived, which are a large amount of the bill.
Tuition waivers from MRC and MCB are sent to Student Accounts Office by MRC/MCB counselor. If eligible, purchase orders for fee assistance should also be submitted by your counselor.

MassBay is proud to offer free tuition and fees for eligible students aged 60 years or greater. Students are limited to one free course per semester and must be 60 years of age or greater by the start of the semester to use the waiver. The Senior Citizen Tuition & Fee Waiver program will waive the tuition and fee costs remaining (of one course) after any other applicable financial aid or benefits have been applied. The program will only be applied to classes for which at least 11 students are enrolled.
Applications for the Senior Citizen Tuition & Fee Waiver will not be accepted until two weeks prior to the first day of the semester. Students eligible for the Senior Citizen Tuition & Fee Waiver must certify US citizenship and Massachusetts residency and present proof of age 60 years or greater.
Degree-seeking students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for the program. Guest students and students enrolling in the following programs are not eligible for federal financial aid; therefore, can forego the FAFSA filing:
To request a senior citizen tuition and fee waiver, student must present *one valid, original, and unexpired state-issued photo ID in person each semester to the Student Accounts Office (after registering for their course).
