This information is critical to understanding your AIIS Fellowship, its provisions and its limitations.

Insurance Options:

All AIIS Fellows must carry health insurance that covers major medical while they are in India. Their policy must also cover medical evacuation. AIIS Fellows who are faculty members at American colleges and universities most often have comprehensive health and accident insurance that covers the Fellow and accompanying dependents while overseas. The Institute advises Fellows who have this sort of complete coverage (please check with your respective insurance representative) to maintain it rather than enroll in other programs. The Institute also strongly urges that accompanying dependents be covered by a comprehensive health and accident plan while in India.

Fellows may buy insurance in India to cover personal effects. Ask for detailed information from the Director-General in New Delhi upon arrival in India.
