If you've been shopping for insurance recently, you may have come across an offer from your alma mater. Many colleges and universities partner with insurance companies or affinity marketing organizations to offer insurance products to graduates, often positioning them as exclusive alumni benefits.

Depending on the school, these programs may offer access to life, health, travel, long-term care, auto or even pet insurance. The coverage is typically provided by a third-party insurer, but the university's branding and alumni connection can make the offer stand out from the other insurance advertisements competing for your attention.
