Graduate Student Health Insurance

Marquette University works with an outside plan administrator to offer graduate students health insurance. Certain Marquette University graduate assistants and fellows, including some recipients of grant funding, will be eligible to have some, or all, of the basic premium paid by Marquette University. Specifically:

University-Paid Health Insurance Coverage for Eligible Graduate Assistants and Fellows

Full Assistantship Recipients: Graduate students who receive full assistantships who have also received award offers stating they are eligible for university-paid health insurance, qualify to have their entire annual premium paid by the university.

Full Fellowship Recipients: Graduate students who receive full graduate fellowships, who have also received award offers stating they are eligible for university-paid health insurance, qualify to have
their entire annual premium paid by the university.

Less Than Full Assistantship Recipients: Graduate students who receive at least a half-assistantship, but less than a full assistantship who have also received award offers stating they are eligible for university-paid health insurance will be
eligible to have one-half of their annual premium paid by the university, when they pay the other half.

Students in the categories above will receive email notifications from the Office of Risk Management or the Graduate School with additional details.

All policy information is available online under "Mandatory Select Graduate School Health Insurance".

Voluntary Health Insurance Coverage for All Other Graduate Students

Students who do not have graduate assistantships or fellowships have the option to purchase student health insurance. They may choose either:

• Voluntary Plan for Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Student Purchase
• Optional Voluntary Program for Graduate Students and Athletes

International Students

International students with F-1 or J-1 visa status are required to enroll in the health insurance plan through the Office of International Education. Depending on the type of assistantship or fellowship they receive, they may qualify for a credit to offset a portion of their insurance costs.
