insurance. Therefore finding a comprehensive, affordable insurance plan that meets
your school's insurance requirements is top on the to-do list.

| The Student
Secure plan starts at just $29 per month and with many student health insurance
plans costing $1,500 or more, our plan can save you hundreds of dollars! It provides
excellent coverage that compares well with school plans and gives peace of mind.
|
Student Secure Benefits include:
- Up to $300,000 policy maximum
- Hospitalization and doctors visits
- Mental health/ maternity
- Sports and Pre-existing condition coverage
- Monthly payment options
Apply online or talk to one of our insurance experts to walk you through the
process.

| Studying
internationally can be expensive, especially when you add up all of the costs you'll
be expected to cover. With tuition, books, travel, transportation, and room and
board, many students soon realize they need additional financial help. International
student loans can help you cover the gap after you've considered your own personal
savings, scholarships and grants. Interested in seeing what loan options are
available?
