INSURANCE COVERAGE WHILE ABROAD

Just as insurance is important to have when you are at home, it is also an important consideration when you travel. Participants in World Endeavors programs abroad can discover, however, that finding the best policy for international travel can be stressful and confusing. In order to make everything easy, World Endeavors offers one of the best quality travel medical insurance to every participant for every program we provide. Our program fees include travel and medical insurance which provide a number of benefits.

After you submit your application to go abroad with World Endeavors, your program advisor will talk with you about insurance coverage and ask if you have your own international insurance coverage (through your university, for example). If you do not, you will be enrolled in the World Endeavors insurance policy and offered coverage for the duration of your program.

*Exception: due to visa requirements, Intern in England and Intern in Northern Ireland program participants must secure other insurance. Please contact World Endeavors for more information.
