On April 1st, International Student Insurance will update its two primary insurance plans, as it does every year. The Student Secure and Atlas Travel plans are two of the best insurance options for students around the world, whether you are planning to study abroad or just traveling - they offer world class benefits from one of the world’s leading insurance markets, Lloyds of London.

If you have already purchased coverage prior to April 1, 2014, there will be no changes to your plan, even if you renew or extend your coverage. The new benefits will only come into force for plans purchased on or after April 1st 2014.

To learn more about the plans, please visit the Student Secure or Atlas Travel pages. With prices starting at just $30/ month for an international student inside the USA on the Student Secure - it is still the most affordable insurance solution available!
