All students are required to have health insurance. Foreign students should arrange for their own health and hospitalization insurance. You may choose any suitable insurance company or you may use www.international-studenthealthinsurance.com. Accident Insurance Any medical, dental, optical, or counseling expenses are the responsibility of parents or guardians. Parents will be asked to fill out a “Consent to Treatment” form for any emergency care that may be required while a student is enrolled at Weimar Academy.

Student Accident Insurance carried by the school is secondary to any health insurance carried by the student’s parent or guardian. Any claims must be filed through the primary policy first. The secondary policy will only cover costs not covered by any other medical insurance the student might have. All deductibles, co pays, etc. from the primary policy are the responsibility of the parent/ guardian.

Benefits are payable for expenses incurred for up to one year from the date of an injury that occurred on school premises or on a school sponsored event (on or off campus) during the school year. This insurance will not cover injuries incurred while the student is on home leave or vacation. In order for insurance to cover an injury, the accident must be reported as soon as the injury occurs. Expenses for treatment must be incurred within 60 days after the accident. The charge for this accident insurance is included in your registration fees.

Mission Trip Funding

Service lies at the core of the Weimar experience and we are passionate about serving our Creator and fellow man in various ways during the year. One major way in which we serve, is through our annual mission trips. Typically, we travel both domestically and internationally to different parts of the world as we fulfill the Gospel commission that our Lord gave us in Matthew 28. The students have opportunities to lead out in construction projects, evangelistic series, run health clinics, and teach others about the love of Jesus Christ.

These experiences are life changing and every student who attends Weimar Academy participates in them each year. Students are expected to raise the money for their trip and can do so by personally working outside jobs, soliciting funds from others, etc. Our trip costs typically start around $900 and can can go above $2500 depending on the destination. Any outstanding balance for mission trip fund raising at time of trip will be charged to the student account to be paid with the next month’s tuition.

Room Deposit Refunds

Room deposits will only be refunded if no repairs and no cleaning are required.

Student Bank

To prevent loss of personal cash, a student bank is available at the Business Office for deposits and withdrawals. It is recommended that the student take advantage of this service. These personal accounts are not related to a student’s tuition account. Deposits into these personal accounts may not be made by credit card.

Literature Evangelism Scholarship

A scholarship of up to $2,000 is available for students in an approved literature evangelist program during the summer. The scholarship is available in the form of tuition reduction applied to the student’s account, and matches 50% of all monies forwarded to the academy by the conference or publishing entity. Half of the scholarship money will be applied each semester of the school year that the student is enrolled as a full-time student. Should the student leave school, any credit balance up to the amount of the scholarship will not be refunded to the student, but will be returned to the Literature Evangelism Scholarship.

Summer Camp Grant

A summer camp grant of up to $1,000 is available for students returning from a summer camp assignment in North America sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and conferencerelated organizations. The grant is based on 50% of the earnings up to $1,000 paid to Weimar. The earnings should be forwarded directly to Weimar Institute by the issuing organization.
