Comprehensive Travel Insurance That Can Protect Your Tuition 

Studying abroad or traveling for an academic program can be a significant investment. Student travel insurance can help protect eligible prepaid, nonrefundable expenses — including tuition on qualifying plans — while providing comprehensive protection for unexpected travel disruptions. 

Whether you’re studying abroad, participating in an educational program, or traveling for school, compare tuition-friendly comprehensive plans designed with academic travelers in mind. 

Protect More Than Just Your Trip

Certain comprehensive travel insurance plans allow eligible prepaid, nonrefundable tuition and academic program expenses to be included as part of your insured trip cost.

Depending on the plan, eligible expenses may include:

  • Tuition associated with your academic trip 
  • Academic and program fees 
  • Airfare
  • Prepaid housing or accommodations
  • Transportation
  • Tours and excursions
  • Graduate students
  • Other eligible prepaid, nonrefundable travel expenses

Coverage, eligibility, limits, and exclusions vary by plan.

Optional CFAR Or IFAR Coverage

Some plans may offer Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) or Interruption For Any Reason (IFAR) benefits for additional flexibility. Eligibility, purchase requirements, and benefit amounts vary by plan. 


Who Should Consider Student Travel Insurance? 

Student travel insurance may be worth considering for:

  • Study abroad students
  • College and university students
  • Graduate students
  • International students
  • Study abroad students
  • College and university students
  • Graduate students
  • International students

If you’ve made a substantial prepaid, nonrefundable investment in tuition, airfare, housing, or program fees, comprehensive coverage can help protect more of that investment.


Tuition Can Be a Major Part of Your Trip Cost 

For an academic trip, airfare may represent only a small portion of your total financial commitment. Tuition, program fees, and housing can represent thousands of dollars in additional prepaid expenses. 

That’s why it’s important to understand whether a travel insurance plan allows eligible tuition to be included in your insured trip cost.

Not Every Travel Insurance Plan Covers Tuition 

Standard comprehensive travel insurance may protect expenses such as airfare and accommodations, but tuition isn’t automatically considered an eligible trip cost. 

If protecting tuition is important to you, compare tuition-friendly comprehensive plans and carefully review which educational expenses are eligible. 

Get Comprehensive Protection for the Rest of Your Trip 

Tuition-friendly coverage doesn’t stop with tuition. Comprehensive plans may also provide benefits for trip cancellation, interruption, travel delays, baggage issues, and other covered disruptions.
