Education:
Over the past several years, the cost for obtaining higher education has significantly increased. If your children have not completed their education prior to your death, your policy should cover the anticipated costs. According to the College Board, the 2009-2010 average cost, including books, tuition, fees, room and board were $16,140 per year for public universities and $36,993 per year for private universities. With this in mind, enter the number of children you have, the number of years of college you would like to provide for and the type of university you would like to have them attend. If you do not want to use this information you may specify the amount.
