New college graduates need to take responsibility for their health insurance needs. GradGuard offers two good alternatives for young adults – the first is short term medical insurance. Although short term medical insurance is not ideal for all new graduates, it is often a good fit for the often uncertain career paths of new graduates who do not have any chronic medical conditions. GradGuard also offers the Student Health Plan – which is available to members of College Parents of America and provides a good alternative for new graduates who may be entering graduate school programs.

There are many reasons why students do not return to college, but some of those highlighted below are risks that can be insured against through GradGuard’s tuition refund insurance. Tuition insurance is not drop out insurance, but it does provide a reasonable way for families to protect the investment they are making in not just tuition, but room, board, academic fees and even travel to campus. Not all tuition insurance is as comprehensive as GradGuard’s but we recommend that each parent not only consider what will help there student succeed, but also insure against the unexpected case of mono, injury, disability through purchasing GradGuard’s tuition refund insurance.
