Student Health Insurance Program

Wake Forest University is committed to the health and wellbeing of all of its students.

Students who are not currently ensured may enroll in the Student Blue plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina.

Students who are covered under their own insurance plan or a parent’s plan, that meets the University’s criteria (found here), may elect to waive the Student Blue plan.  

Students must enroll or waive prior to the fall semester each year, as the benefits period is August 1 through July 31.

2022-23 Premiums: $2,834 per year or $1,417 per semester

Student Health Insurance Need-Based Grant: Students receiving need-based financial aid who are required to purchase the University’s Student Blue may request funding through Student Financial Aid to cover the premiums. Please contact Student Financial Aid at finaid@nullwfu.edu for information.
