About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the proprietary school bond covers

Georgia regulates private, for-profit, and other nonpublic postsecondary schools through the Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission (GNPEC). To get and keep authorization to operate, a school must file a surety bond under O.C.G.A. 20-3-250.10 in an amount the Commission sets from its bond schedule.

The bond is conditioned to indemnify the Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund and to protect any student (or their parent or guardian) who suffers loss from a violation of the law or the Commission's rules — most importantly, unearned prepaid tuition if the school closes. In lieu of a bond, the Executive Director may accept an irrevocable standby letter of credit.

If a student is harmed and recovers against the bond, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for the school. Letting the bond lapse leads to suspension or termination of authorization. We issue the amount GNPEC set at a flat 3% with no credit check.

O.C.G.A. 20-3-250.10 (GNPEC)O.C.G.A. 20-3-250.10 conditions authorization to operate a nonpublic postsecondary institution on a surety bond filed with the GNPEC Executive Director in an amount set by the Commission's bond schedule, conditioned to indemnify the Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund (O.C.G.A. 20-3-250.27) and protect students from loss. An irrevocable standby letter of credit may be accepted in lieu. Failure to maintain the bond results in suspension or termination of authorization. Confirm your amount with GNPEC.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Georgia proprietary school bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is set by GNPEC from its bond schedule, based on your tuition volume — so a $20,000 bond is $600. Enter your figure and the quote updates.
What does the bond protect? +
Students and the state Tuition Guaranty Trust Fund. If the school closes or violates the Commission's rules and a student loses prepaid tuition, the bond pays them — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Can I use a letter of credit instead? +
Yes. O.C.G.A. 20-3-250.10 lets the Executive Director accept an irrevocable standby letter of credit in lieu of a bond. A surety bond is usually cheaper — you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up bank collateral.
Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What happens if the bond lapses? +
GNPEC can suspend or terminate your authorization to operate. The bond must stay continuous; we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
