Tuition Insurance

Tufts University offers a Tuition Refund Plan (TRP), administered by A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. This plan is designed to help students who must take medical leave (due to physical or mental health reasons) recoup some of their tuition payments for the academic year. We highly recommend considering tuition insurance to protect your financial commitment if an unexpected leave becomes necessary. 

Why Consider Tuition Insurance? 

Tuition insurance offers peace of mind. If you need to take time off for medical reasons, this insurance ensures that you won’t lose your tuition payments. Given the ongoing impact of health challenges, it’s more important than ever to consider this protection. 

What Does Tuition Insurance Cover? 

Tuition insurance helps safeguard your educational investment if you need to take a medical leave of absence. It provides peace of mind by covering eligible tuition costs, allowing you and your family to focus on recovery—not finances. For complete coverage details, please visit Dewar’s website or refer to the attached document.

Refund Policy

  • Before the Sixth Week: If you leave the University within the first six weeks of classes, you may be eligible for a refund based on the schedule set by the Bursar.

  • After the Sixth Week: Refunds are no longer available unless you have purchased tuition insurance before the semester begins. 

How to Enroll 

The updated application and cost details for the next academic year will be available later this summer. To enroll, submit your application and payment before the first day of classes, as published in the Academic Calendar. Applications cannot be accepted after the first day of classes.
