StudentSecure® Smart Insurance
What is StudentSecure Smart insurance?
For the budget-conscious student, StudentSecure Smart is international student health insurance that provides coverage for the basic necessities. It is available to full-time international students or scholars studying outside their home country. A Smart policy is designed for:
- Students participating in a cultural exchange program
- International students studying in the USA on a J-1 or F-1 visa
- International students wanting a budget-friendly alternative to their school's health insurance plan
Why do I need international student insurance?
Studying abroad can represent financial risk in the form of unexpected medical expenses. Many health insurance policies do not apply beyond the borders of your home country. A StudentSecure Smart international student health plan can reduce your personal expenses if you experience an unexpected illness or injury during your study abroad program.
What are my options?
typically offer more benefits than Student Secure Smart, but at a higher price.
StudentSecure Smart is designed to offer a lower-cost alternative to those school plans by providing only the essential benefits while still meeting J-1 visa requirements (F-1 visas do not have an insurance requirement).
