OLLI Financial Assistance

We’re pleased to offer need-based financial assistance for participation in our classroom courses and lectures with the generous support of donations from your fellow members.

To receive financial assistance, you must be an OLLI member and pay the annual membership fee (which prorates through the year). You may wait to learn if you are being awarded financial aid to purchase your membership; however, you must purchase your membership prior to being registered for programs using your financial assistance award. 

If you are awarded financial assistance, you are eligible to take advantage of the award in the semester in which you apply and in the remainder of the semesters in the academic year. For example, if you are awarded financial assistance for the Fall Semester, you will be eligible to use the Fall, Spring and Summer financial assistance allotments. If you are awarded financial assistance in the Summer Semester, you will be eligible to use the Summer financial assistance allotment. Financial assistance cannot be applied to Study Trips. 

We strongly encourage you to apply for financial assistance early (prior to the first day of registration for the semester), as your enrollment in desired courses is available on a first come, first served basis, as is true with all OLLI members. 

If you have specific questions prior to completing your application, please contact the OLLI office at 919-515-5782.
