Student Insurance

Student Accident Insurance / Student Travel Insurance

What is student insurance?
Student insurance is coverage that institutions can provide to help protect students involved in school-sanctioned activities or travel. Two separate coverages can be important options in being prepared for risks facing students on and off school premises, as well as the risks to schools they attend or those that host school-sponsored trips or events.

Student Accident Insurance helps protect students who may suffer injuries on or off school premises while participating in school-sponsored sports or non-sport extracurricular activities, playing on playground equipment and more. For schools and school districts, Student Accident Insurance can help protect them from potential lawsuits, as their general liability coverage may have limited or no benefit for medical expenses incurred by students.

Student Travel Insurance can provide medical coverage, emergency services, travel inconvenience protections and more for students traveling abroad. The coverage is provided through schools sponsoring international travel opportunities and can help reduce the impacts of accidents and emergencies that occur during such trips. Student Travel Insurance can also be customized to include coverage for staff, chaperones or other participants at the discretion of the school.
