We are very satisfied with AWG Dewar, not many participate, but we
have at least a couple of claims each semester.

>>Hi!

>>I am interested to find out what your experience has been with a

>>
>>1) Does your institution offer tuition insurance for parents and

>>2) If so, is it paid for by the institution or independently by the
>>parents and students?
>>
>>3) If it is paid for by the parents and students, how has the insurance

>>Student Services)? Is it positive or negative, and why? Does it save
>>you money by covering refunds you might otherwise have paid yourself?
>>Do parents and students perceive this as a good deal? Do many purchase
>>the policies?
>>
>>4) Any comments regarding two major vendors, A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. or
>>Markel Insurance Company? Are there others you would recommend?
