The Tuition Refund Plan

The cost of education today is a significant investment, and unexpected health issues can disrupt plans for some students.

For this reason, as a supplement to the College’s refund policy, we offer the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. to protect against financial loss in the event a student must take a leave or withdraw from the College of the Holy Cross due to a serious illness or accident before completing the semester.

This insurance is voluntary, inexpensive, and provides protection for some of your financial investment for the semester. The TRP provides coverage for tuition, housing, food, health service fee and activity fee student account charges should a student suffer a serious illness or accident and leave the College before the semester is completed. Leaves or withdrawals for reasons other than personal injury or sickness would not be covered by the Dewar Tuition Refund Plan.

Participation in the plan assures a 75% refund throughout the semester even though the College’s own refund policy may have expired at the time of the student’s leave or withdrawal.

The purchase deadline is the first day of classes of the fall semester. The 2024-2025 academic year cost is $583 for students residing on-campus and $452 for students not residing on-campus.

Enrollment forms with complete details are mailed to students in June, or an application may be completed online at collegerefund.com/home.  If you have any questions, please contact A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. at (617) 774-1555.
