Why it matters
- US universities auto-enrol internationals into campus health plans costing $1,500–3,000/year — a compliant travel-student policy can waive that at a fraction of the price.
- Student plans add academic benefits standard policies lack: study interruption refunds, sponsor protection if your fee-payer passes away, and family compassionate visits.
- Cover runs for the full academic year including holidays and internships, not just the flight dates.

Buy with a real consultant — not just a checkout form
Our consultants confirm final premiums with the insurer, check the wording against your trip (visa rules, activities, health declarations), and stay on the file for claims help.
How to buy it right
- Get your university’s waiver requirements first — deductible caps, mental-health and maternity requirements decide which plan qualifies.
- Buy for the whole academic year before departure; extending from abroad is possible but pricier and paperwork-heavy.
- Declare sports: intramural play is usually fine, but competitive/university sport often needs a rider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my university accept an outside insurance plan?
Many US, UK, Canadian and Australian universities allow waivers when an outside plan meets their published minimums. The Indian student plans we list are designed around common waiver criteria — our consultants will check your university’s specific form before you buy.
What is study interruption cover?
If a covered event (serious illness, family bereavement) forces you to abandon a semester, the benefit refunds part of the prepaid, non-refundable tuition — a benefit ordinary travel policies do not carry.
How long can a student policy run?
Typically 1–2 years continuously, renewable for the course duration. Cover includes semester breaks and OPT/internship periods on most wordings.
