Sending a child
off to study abroad is a proud and exciting milestone, but it can also be a
time of great anxiety for parents. The prospect of a child being thousands of
miles away, navigating a new culture and potential emergencies, can be
daunting. Royal Sundaram understands these concerns and offers comprehensive
Student Travel Insurance plans designed to give parents the peace of mind they
need, knowing fully well that their child is protected and supported throughout
their academic journey.
Recent analysis
made, highlights the ever-rising number of students from India pursuing
education abroad. While this surge of students chasing their dreams
internationally is truly positive, the concerns of the parents of these
students are equally valid. While the students often worry about the
financial costs incurred, the Parents are most worried about their children’s
personal safety and security while studying abroad.
“The transition
to a new country and academic system can be incredibly overwhelming for students
travelling abroad,” said Mr. TM Shyamsunder, Chief Operating Officer of
Royal Sundaram. Keeping this concern foremost in mind, “Royal
Sundaram's Student Travel Insurance product has been designed to provide the
support and protection that students need to thrive both academically and
personally during their time abroad.”
With the
ever-changing times and needs, the Student Travel Insurance by Royal Sundaram
offers comprehensive protection to ensure students are covered in case of any
unexpected events. The coverage goes beyond the usual travel insurance
offerings for medical expenses, loss of passport, or trip delay.
The
student-specific coverage within the Student Travel Insurance also includes:
- Study Interruption: Royal
Sundaram reimburses tuition fees paid for the period of non-attendance in case
the student is hospitalized or faces any other covered event.
- Sponsor Protection: Coverage
is provided for tuition fees for the remaining period of study in case of any
covered injury to the student’s sponsor.
- Other Medical Emergencies:
The insurance covers a wide range of medical challenges, including mental and
