Other types of insurance What else do you need to protect from
large financial loss??
Tuition Refund /Reimbursement Insurance
Typical coverage is about $15,000 a year. general coverage includes: Medical Disability: "If a student has to withdraw due to their
accidental death, verified illness or an unforeseen physical disability (as defined by a physician) incurred after the policy goes into effect, the Plan will reimburse 100 percent of covered expenses up to the policy limits.
Death of a tuition payer: "If a student has to completely withdraw due to the death of a tuition payer, the plan will pay 100 percent of covered fees."
But experts caution that tuition insurance typically doesn't cover costs if a student decides to just up and quit school, gets kicked out or is homesick.
EX: Kenyon College, OH The cost is $220.00 per semester and
protects you from the loss of funds you havepaid for tuition, room and fees, if applicable.
Tuition/room board is $55,000/yr.
