During their grant period, all current Fulbright Canada grantees are enrolled in the Accident and Sickness Program for Exchanges (ASPE) Health Benefits plan. For more information on your ASPE health benefit plan www.sevencorners.com/gov/usdos.
Please note that ASPE is a supplemental insurance program. We encourage all grantees to retain existing health insurance or obtain their health insurance to cover ongoing or potential medical requirements. Your host institution may have information available about health insurance plans for visiting students, scholars, and their families.
While we should be your point of first contact and are here to ensure all grantees have a productive and safe international exchange experience, all grantees should keep themselves apprised of government services and guidance during their grant period. Please see
