Directory of Athletic Scholarship Health Insurance Providers

Athletes from Canada often have the opportunity to hone their athletic skills in a particular sport with the assistance of a scholarship to attend a university or college in the USA. While out of Canada, they need health insurance different from the provincial plan they are covered under at home.

Living and studying in the United States means that travel health insurance may not be appropriate. The nature of the athletic activities - competitive sports - may also preclude the use of many other health plans.

A good health insurance plan which covers the unique needs of athletes on a scholarship at an American school should be part of any such athlete's travel plan and kit bag.
