Health insurance was not part of the initial FA award at Bowdoin, but was covered once current insurance was not approved for Maine. Below a quote from the wedsite, we did not have to apply for additional aid so unsure if that is a change this year.
“All students are required to have adequate health insurance coverage. Each student is automatically enrolled in the Bowdoin health insurance plan each fall semester. You may waive the coverage if you have adequate insurance already. If you need the insurance and receive aid from Bowdoin, you may apply to have the cost covered by an additional aid credit. Families receive information about health insurance in July and may contact Cathy Hayes with questions.”
I would say to call back for clarification, but Brunswick is being hit be a snow storm and power is out. Second time this semester and Bowdoin as expected has handled it very well. All dorms have heat and both dining halls are in buildings with generators.
