Saving Money with Fewer Tuition Refund Appeals at Purdue University

For Tim Riley, Assistant Controller and University Bursar at Purdue University, the partnership with GradGuard is something to be proud of — and it's now going on six years strong.

At the heart of the partnership is a commitment to helping students and families make the best, most informed decisions for themselves. GradGuard has helped Purdue display its tuition refund policies clearly so that students and families understand them upfront. From there, families can make a confident decision about whether to protect their educational investment in case something unfortunate happens — giving them real peace of mind.

But the benefits don't stop with families. Purdue has seen institutional value as well. As Riley explains, "We've seen the benefit at Purdue, we've saved money over time with less tuition refund appeals." Having that protection in place helps students and families overcome difficult moments and opens the door for those students to come back, recover, and continue toward their goals — which in turn improves retention and helps Purdue support its students in becoming successful.
