Health Insurance

For Regular Scholarship Students

CBIE provides comprehensive medical health insurance for all sponsored Libyan-North American scholarship students in the United States In cooperation with Sobel Associates through Aetna. Detailed information regarding plan benefits - which starts effective your date of arrival in the United States - will be made available in the Orientation Manual which will be distributed to you as a hard copy as you begin your scholarship (also available electronically here).
