What it is and who needs it.
What the proprietary school bond covers
Kentucky's Commission on Proprietary Education licenses private, for-profit and non-profit schools that offer programs below the bachelor's degree level — trade schools, vocational programs, and the like. (Schools at the bachelor's level and above are licensed instead by the Council on Postsecondary Education.) Each school license is conditioned on a surety bond.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it backs the tuition and fees students prepay, providing a financial backstop if the school closes or fails to deliver the training it was paid for. By regulation, the school bond is at least $20,000 per location, and schools also maintain separate agent bonds (generally $5,000 per agent).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A letter of credit can be accepted in lieu of the bond. Enter the amount the Commission set on your license, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
