How GradGuard Tuition Insurance Helped One Family Through a Mental Health Crisis

When Alison's son was attending college in Charleston while managing depression, she knew how determined he was to graduate. During his senior year, she decided to purchase GradGuard Tuition Insurance when paying the tuition bill, similar to how families may consider insurance for a flight or trip. That decision became incredibly important when her son experienced a serious mental health crisis and needed to leave school. During an already difficult and emotional time, having tuition insurance helped protect the family from a significant financial loss. Alison shares how GradGuard covered 100% of the approximately $25,000 in eligible semester costs, including tuition and books, and how simple the claims process was, requiring only a few phone calls and about 30 minutes of paperwork. Her son has since graduated from the University of Southern Maine, and she shares why she wholeheartedly recommends GradGuard Tuition Insurance as a meaningful source of support and peace of mind during life’s unexpected challenges.
