18 million college students and families are smart to evaluate the risks of college life.

PHOENIX (June 28, 2024): GradGuard, an authority on helping schools educate and protect students from the risks of college life, recommends that college students and their families evaluate their insurance options on National Insurance Awareness Day and protect themselves from potential financial risks.

According to the College Board, in 2023-24, the average published (sticker) tuition and fees for full-time undergraduate students are: Public four-year in-state tuition is $11,260, and Public four-year out-of-state tuition is $29,150, while Private nonprofit four-year institutions are $41,540.

“The cost of higher education creates financial risks that are often overlooked,” said John Fees, co-founder and CEO of GradGuard, the number one provider of tuition and renters insurance to college students in the nation.  “Given that paying for college is typically the second largest investment families make, it’s important for families to understand how to protect that investment.”

Students can mitigate the financial and academic risks they face by being aware of the potential pitfalls and taking proactive measures to protect themselves.

Tuition Insurance: If a student is forced to withdraw from college due to a serious illness, injury, or accident, they are unlikely to receive a full refund for tuition, housing, or other fees.  GradGuard’s Tuition Insurance can provide reimbursement for these expenses when schools do not, when a covered student withdraws from school for a covered reason such as mono, concussion, mental health condition, the death of a tuition payer, or loss of employment for the tuition payer, depending on the plan during the covered term*.

According to recent American College Health Association data:

• 1 in 4 students reported being affected by depression
• 1 in 3 students reported being affected by anxiety
• 1 in 2 students reported being affected by stress

Renters Insurance: Over 3 million students living in on-campus housing are likely unaware that their college or university is unlikely to replace stolen or damaged personal property.  According to Clery Act Reports, an average of over 24,000 crime and safety incidents have been reported annually on college campuses since 2009.

• 2,411 robberies were reported on average annually
• 1,840 fires were reported on average annually.
• 20,521 burglaries were reported on average annually.

Off-campus residents face similar risks. When schools, housing companies, or landlords can’t be relied upon to replace stolen or damaged property, renters insurance is a smart choice. GradGuard’s College Renters Insurance includes an exclusive student endorsement offering worldwide property coverage, liability protection, a low $100 deductible, and no credit check.

Health Insurance: Many colleges offer health insurance plans, requiring students to purchase coverage or opt out by showing proof of alternative insurance. While college health plans may be suitable for some, families are smart to confirm their current coverage fulfills school requirements and to avoid paying twice for coverage. Under federal law, young adults can remain on a parent’s plan until they turn 26.

Travel Insurance: For those students attending college more than 4 hours away from home or planning to study abroad, an annual travel insurance policy can be smart as it can provide financial protection against trip cancellations, medical emergencies, and even lost luggage that can disrupt an academic term.

Life Insurance: Families are often not prepared to pay for college in the event of a parent’s death or to pay for private student loans in the case of a student’s unexpected death. Life insurance is an important consideration for families and provides the resources essential to cover college costs, including tuition, housing, fees, and private student loans parents may have taken to pay for higher education.

Fees continued, “Take a moment before school begins to evaluate the risks facing your student and family and purchase the protection you may need to ensure you can overcome what might otherwise disrupt the path towards completing college.”

Sponsored by Experian, the Show Hopes to Provide Easy to Understand Financial Information

June 4, 2024, LOS ANGELES, CA – The Singleton Foundation for Financial Literacy & Entrepreneurship and its free to view digital channel Million Stories announces today the launch of The Finance Couch, an exciting new series that provides an opportunity to address financial concerns of college students and to explore their financial worries in a new way.

The show provides an accessible entertaining way to provide this information.

The series is hosted by Wharton School of Business graduate and former Wall Street professional Ross Mac and Andini Makosinski, Inventor, Public Speaker, and host of Your World on Money, another show on Million Stories.

[New York, New York] – DoSomething,org, the leading hub for youth-centered activism, announces the launch of its Voter Catalyst Network (VCN) 2024 peer-to-peer voter registration campaign. Building on our track record of success in registering over 415,000 voters since 2018, DoSomething is launching this initiative to buttress our Art of Democracy program to ensure Gen Z’s voice is heard at the polls and beyond. The VCN trains and supports a network of young people under 25 to become Voter Captains in their communities.

Drawing from three decades of successfully driving young people toward peer-to-peer civic engagement, DoSomething will mentor new “Voter Captains.”  Voter Captains will be trained to host voter registration drives for their peers and community members to foster a culture of active citizenship. The captain who registers the most votes will earn an all-expense-paid trip to New York City to attend DoSomething’s Election Night Party. Voter Captains will also have access to exclusive swag, and will earn Volunteer Credits for their participation. 

A recent Harvard Youth Poll that surveyed 18-to 29-year-olds revealed that only 49% said they “definitely” will be voting, compared to 57% in 2019. VCN comes at a time when Gen Z’s understanding of their power in shaping election outcomes is critical. “There are over 41 million Gen Z voters who are newly eligible to vote in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election. Over 8 million of them would be first-time voters. The Voter Catalyst Network is a powerful tool for young people to do something to ensure this generation claims our democracy and their role in shaping it. ” explains DeNora Getachew, CEO of DoSomething.org. 

The Voters Catalyst Network is part of DoSomething’s Art of Democracy program, which educates and equips the next generation of young voters with the identity, knowledge and skills to share their civic story and become a force for change in and out of the voting booth. This builds on the organization’s  2023 pilot of Art of Democracy through which DoSomething convened 850 young people in person in New York City. By scaling this work in key states in 2024, DoSomething will  convene over 5,000 young people through live events. The organization will also collect and amplify stories shared by over 10,000 young people online and offline to build a National Youth Agenda to ensure Gen Z’s voices are heard in our election.

Applications for Voter Captain positions are now open on a rolling basis and will close on September 1, 2024. To become a catalyst for change in your community apply to become a Voter Captain at DoSomething.org/vcn.

About DoSomething.org:

DoSomething fuels young people to change the world. As the leading hub for youth-centered activism, DoSomething has activated more than 8 million young people representing every U.S. area code and over 130 countries.

When young people join DoSomething.org, they are joining a reflective and inclusive collective of members who are collaborating to develop and implement solutions to the most pressing issues facing society today.
