For families investing in a prestigious education at The Lawrenceville School, the Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) is your primary financial safety net. This guide explains how to use it to protect your investment if your student must withdraw due to serious illness, injury, or other covered circumstances.

Key Takeaways:

• Mandatory for Payment Plans: The Tuition Refund Plan is required for the Two-Payment and Monthly payment plans, and strongly recommended for all.
• Premiums are Calculated: The premium is 0.95% of your net tuition (after financial aid).
• Direct Contact for Claims: All TRP inquiries and claims are handled directly by the insurer, A.W.G. Dewar, Inc.

1. Understanding the Purpose of the Tuition Refund Plan

A significant tuition investment brings the risk of financial loss if a student cannot complete the academic year. The Tuition Refund Plan (TRP) is a form of insurance that helps protect your paid tuition and fees if your student must withdraw from school for a covered medical or mental health reason.

Without this plan, the school’s standard withdrawal policy would apply, which typically offers little to no prorated refund after the semester begins. The TRP helps ensure you are not responsible for the full year’s tuition if an unexpected, serious event occurs.

2. How to Enroll in the Tuition Refund Plan

Enrollment in the TRP is directly tied to the payment plan you choose. Here is a clear breakdown:

Payment Plan Option	TRP Requirement	Key Dates & Costs
One-Payment Plan	Optional, but strongly urged	You may choose to pay the premium ($785.75 boarding / $646.57 day) by June 1, 2026.
Two-Payment Plan	Mandatory	The full TRP premium, plus a $50 plan fee, is due with your first payment on June 1, 2026.
Monthly Payment Plan	Mandatory	The full TRP premium, plus a $100 plan fee, is due with your first payment on June 1, 2026.

Important Note: If you do not select a plan, you will be automatically enrolled in the Two-Payment Plan and are therefore required to purchase the TRP.

3. How to File a Claim for a Refund

If your student needs to withdraw, the refund process is managed directly by the insurance provider, not by the school’s billing office.

1. Contact the Insurer Immediately: You must notify A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. as soon as a withdrawal is necessary. Their contact details are:
   • Address: Four Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169-7478
   • Phone: 617-774-1555
2. Obtain and Review the Policy: The specific terms, covered reasons, and claim procedures are in the official TRP brochure. Lawrenceville states this is found under “Policy Documents” (likely in your parent portal). Read this carefully to understand what documentation is required (e.g., physician statements).
3. Submit Required Documentation: Work with the insurer to complete their claim forms and provide any necessary medical or official documentation to support the reason for withdrawal.
4. Await Claim Review: The insurer will review your claim against the policy terms and determine the refundable amount based on the timing and reason for withdrawal.

4. What Other Fees are Refundable?

The TRP specifically covers tuition. Other fees have separate refund policies:

• Security Deposit: A separate, one-time $1,000 security deposit is held for the duration of your student’s enrollment. Any unused portion of this deposit will be refunded when the student leaves the school.
• Senior Fee: The $515 fee for 12th graders and post-graduates covering prom and events is typically non-refundable if the events have been incurred.
• Payment Plan Fees: The $50 or $100 fees for enrolling in a payment plan are administrative costs and are not refundable.
