Life-long Learning Opportunity Act of 2006

The Lifelong Learning Opportunity Act of 2006 (H.R. 5276) was designed to make higher education more accessible to senior citizens by establishing a grant program for colleges and universities. Under this bill, participating institutions would allow older adults to audit college courses free of charge, even if they are not enrolled as regular students. The program would also provide seniors with practical support, including assistance with the registration process and financial aid to cover the costs of textbooks and other required course fees.
