What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana regulates proprietary schools — private trade, career, and vocational schools — through the Board of Regents. Under R.S. 17:3141.9, no one may sell a course of instruction or recruit students for such a school without first obtaining a solicitor permit, and the permit application must be accompanied by a $1,000 surety bond.
The bond is continuous, issued by a surety authorized in Louisiana, and filed with the commissioner of higher education. It is conditioned to indemnify any student who suffers a loss from fraud or misrepresentation the solicitor used to procure enrollment.
A solicitor who represents more than one school needs a separate permit for each. If you recruit for a single school, this individual $1,000 bond is your filing; a school covering all its solicitors at once uses a blanket bond instead. We issue either at honest, flat pricing.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Board of Regents. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your solicitor permit application to the commissioner of higher education. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
