College Administrators

The College Plan is a form of group insurance originated by Dewar to give families the opportunity to protect their investment in education by refunding semester tuition and on campus room and board lost because of a covered medical withdrawal.

A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. has been offering the Tuition Refund Plan since 1930. Many of our current customer colleges and universities have been offering our coverage for decades.

The Plan provides coverage for tuition, on campus room and board and mandatory fees when a student withdraws for covered medical reasons during a semester.

There is no cost to the College/University to offer this service to students.  Generally, families sign up and pay the modest cost.

Yes, student loans used to pay for college costs and taken out by the parent or the student can be covered under the Plan up to the covered amount.

Yes, nearly all of our participating colleges offer the Plan on an optional basis.

Many of our participating colleges and universities have one or more graduate programs also offering the coverage. We are happy to set up the coverage for any of these schools.

A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. arranges with the college/university announcement materials that can be sent from our mail house or from the college. Details about the Plan and electronic application is made available on our website for family convenience.

Yes, detailed information and an application can be found for most participating colleges at www.collegerefund.com.

Claim forms are provided to the student/family upon notice of a withdrawal. Medical information is provided to us by the treating professional. The college/university confirms the withdrawal on a separate form.

Claims that are approved for payment are paid either to the college/university for credit to the student account or directly to the family.

Most claims are paid within a week from the day we receive the completed claim forms.
