21-21D-2. Purpose of act.

The purpose of the Senior Citizens Reduced Tuition Act [21-21D-1 NMSA 1978] is to provide educational opportunities for senior citizens at reduced tuition rates at New Mexico post-secondary degree-granting educational institutions. Senior citizens on fixed incomes often cannot afford the tuition to attend classes, but, by attending classes at reduced rates, older persons may be assisted in achieving lives of independence, dignity and purpose.
