Graduate students who are enrolled full-time are covered on the student insurance plans at Grambling State University (GSU). The domestic students have an accident only policy, whereas the international policy covers sickness and accident. GSU will have new
plans and coverage starting in August. Have a great day</p>

<div><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Dear fellow members of the Louisiana Council of Graduate Schools:<br>
<br>
Do you provide health insurance to US graduate students who are over 26 (the age at which a student is no longer covered on the parents' policies)? Our international students have a group policy that costs ~$130/month but US citizens have none. I checked with
our Student Life office and was told that the group was too small for us to negotiate a good rate. I wonder if we will have more clout as a group.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>
