Tuition Waiver for Senior Citizens
Maryland residents who are age 60 or older on the first day of class may enroll at CCBC without a charge for tuition. Applicable fees, however, will be charged. Students age 60 or older must complete the birthdate section on the registration form.

Tuition Waver for Individuals with Disabilities
Due to changes in MD State Law, individuals taking Continuing Education courses who are under 60 years of age and certified as retired due to disability as defined by Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Act, are no longer eligible for a Disability Tuition Waiver.  However, CCBC does provide these students a Disability Tuition Scholarship to cover tuition costs.  Disabled students wishing to apply for a Disability Tuition Scholarship need to have a completed Certification of Disability form to go along with their Scholarship application.  You may pickup a Disability Certification form at any college registration area or online at www.ccbcmd.edu/hb104.

The Disability Certification form must be taken to the appropriate Social Security Office, or the federal pension or retirement authority that services the account for completion and signature.  The Disability Tuition Scholarship application may delivered to any college registration area or mailed to:

Employer/Sponsor Paid Tuition
Students must present written proof (purchase order, tuition assistance form or letter on company letterhead with employer's authorization to bill for registration) at the time of registration. In the event the employer does not pay the bill, the student is responsible for all tuition and fees.
