Tuition Refund Plan
What is the Tuition Refund Plan?

Recognizing the substantial investment of an education at Anna Maria College, we have concern for the student who suffers a serious illness or accident and has to leave the College for that reason before the end of the term is completed. In many instances, it means not only the loss of time invested in studies, but also the loss of the charges paid for the term. With this in mind, the College has made arrangements to provide a Tuition Refund Insurance Plan (TRP), which is designed to minimize the risk of financial loss for undergraduate students and families if a covered illness or accident occurs. A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. offers this program at a cost of $408 for undergraduate resident students, and $308 for undergraduate commuter students. The charge is billed in the Fall 2025 semester and covers the full academic year. *The cost for new incoming Spring 2026 undergraduate students is $204 for residents, and $154 for commuters.

You are assured by Dewar of up to an 80% refund throughout the semester, even after the College’s refund policy has expired, for withdrawals due to valid medical and mental health issues.

** The deadline to waive this coverage for the Fall 2025 semester is August 25, 2025.

Therefore, all domestic students enrolled in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum are automatically charged the Student Health Insurance Fee.
