Save up to $800 on your student insurance!

Before you can register for classes, your school will
require you to show proof of health insurance coverage for your time abroad. You
can either purchase your school’s plan (if they have one) or find an
alternative, often cheaper option.
Our plan comes in three levels and starts at just $30 per month - it is
an excellent insurance solution for ºÚÁÏרÇø and will provide
coverage for doctors visits, hospitalizations, prescription drugs, maternity,
mental health and pre-existing conditions.

Find a US School You Can Afford
|
|
The hunt to find a US school to attend next Spring should start now. Instead of picking any
school that looks like it might be a good choice, choose one you can actually afford! Making
this decision consists of more than hoping will cover everything. You
must make a strategic choice by finding a school you can actually afford. After all, you’re
going to have to pay back those loans at some point, make sure you can afford the amount you
take out!
