Hello,

Find below the details of insurance requirement below.

Before that I was trying to apply to the Patriot Exchange program however my country of citizenship, Nigeria is not listed as options on the drop down in the online application page! Please how do I go about the application. And by the way is the Insurance (PEP) a good option or recommendation based on the coverage requirements listed below for international student on F1, please? Thanks.

Regards,

Bello
