Insurance
Medical care is very expensive in the U.S. and therefore all International students are required to have health
insurance.
International students may purchase medical insurance at Spokane Community College. The Lewer Insurance Company offers
medical insurance that can be purchased upon arrival at SCC for about $204 for 3 months. Medical insurance helps ensure
that your studies will not be interrupted because of the cost of medical care.
