Insurance for students
Insurance at "very favourable terms which arc not available to the general public" is available to students.
According to an information sheet published by the New Zealand University Students' Association the advantages include reduced premiums, and acceptance irrespective of health (within certain limits).
N.Z.U.S.A. receives a commission for every policy sold.
"In the three months that the N.Z.U.S.A.'s Insurance Scheme was operating in the 1968 academic year, 48 students took advantage of the scheme's special concessions for students," the president of N.Z.U.S.A., John MacGrath said recently.
"The most outstanding support for the scheme has come from students at the University of Canterbury, where 28 students have taken out policies," he said.
"All other local student associations have endorsed the scheme except Auckland, whose student association executive declined to adopt it," John said.
