Dewar Tuition Insurance Plan
An investment in education today is substantial; usually the second largest investment to purchasing a home. In order to help protect your investment, Santa Clara University has partnered with A.W.G. Dewar, Inc., to provide protection from loss of funds paid toward tuition should a student need to completely withdraw from school for medical reasons. This is an extremely low-cost plan that could literally save you thousands of dollars!
Undergraduate students enrolled full time are automatically enrolled in the Tuition Insurance Plan (The Plan). The quarterly charge will appear on the fall, winter, and spring billing statements. The cost of The Plan is $57 per quarter; $171 for the academic year, not including Summer sessions. The Plan covers 80% of tuition charges, less any refund or credit due from the University, for diagnosed medical or mental health withdrawals. The Plan does not cover fees or room and board. Refunds may be affected by financial aid award adjustments.
Undergraduate students who do not wish to participate in The Plan can opt out by waiving coverage for the entire academic year, not including Summer sessions, through the website: https://www.tuitionprotection.com/scu. The charge for The Plan will be credited to the student account following the successful completion of the waiver by the deadline. The fall deadline for completing the waiver is September 22, 2024.
Law, Graduate, and JST students can enroll in the tuition insurance plan directly by going to the Dewar’s website at: https://collegerefund.com/. Enrollment must occur prior to the first day of the term. The Plan for Law, Graduate, and JST students covers 80% of tuition charges, less any refund or credit due from the University, for diagnosed medical or mental health withdrawals.
For information regarding Tuition Insurance for the Summer sessions, students can contact Dewar directly via email at trp@dewarinsurance.com or call them at (617) 774-1555 and they will assist with plan enrollment.
