Re: bursar-l: Tuition Insurance Question

I would ditto Jeanne's comments. We have used AWG Dewar for many years,
with the same positive results. My only regret is that more families don't
take advantage of it. This is the first year, in a long time, that we have
actually had a claim filed (and we had three) and they handled them all
promptly and courteously.
