What the school bond actually covers
Iowa requires every person or entity that maintains, conducts, or solicits a course of instruction in Iowa — by classroom, correspondence, or distance education — to file evidence of financial responsibility under Iowa Code § 714.18, administered through Iowa College Aid. A surety bond is the common form.
The bond ensures the faithful performance of contracts between the school and its students — so that if a school closes or fails to deliver, students can be refunded or made whole. Schools must reapply to show continuing compliance, at minimum every two years.
Because the amount is set as evidence of financial responsibility for your specific school, it varies — some programs reference a figure on the order of $50,000, but the exact amount is what College Aid requires for your tuition and enrollment. Enter that figure and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
