The TuitionGuardian product is provided through membership in the Education Security Division of the Expense Management Association (ESD/EMA).

Benefits include Refund protection due to Medical Withdrawal or Death of the Student and Accidental Death benefits for the Student and Primary Tuition Payer. Featured membership services include: 24-hour worldwide Emergency Travel Assistance Services, Identity Theft Services, Emergency Roadside Assistance Services, and an interactive wellness website resource.
TuitionGuardian provides tuition refund protection in case of Medical Withdrawal, when the student must leave school, before the term of classes is completed due to a covered accident or illness, including death as a result thereof. Medical Withdrawal benefits are paid at 100% of non-refundable tuition, room and board, and other fees paid to the school, less any refund or credit due from the school, up to a maximum limit of $25,000 per semester or lesser limit as selected by the member. The maximum benefit limit per semester for medical withdrawal due to Non-hospitalized Mental and Nervous Conditions is capped at 60% of the medical withdrawal limit selected for the Student. The policy provides a maximum benefit of two times the semester limit chosen.
TuitionGuardian provides a 24-hour worldwide $2,500 Accidental Death Benefit to the Student and $10,000 Accidental Death Benefit to the Primary Tuition Payer.
