What the career school bond actually covers
Maryland licenses private career schools — non-degree academic, professional, technical, and trade-training institutions — through the Maryland Higher Education Commission under Education Article §§11-105 and 11-203. A surety bond is part of the license, and it backs the tuition students pay up front.
If a school ceases operations before completing instruction, the bond is available to refund students for tuition already paid. The bond amount is based on gross tuition collected and is set by MHEC, which advises each school owner of the required coverage — it can change year to year as enrollment changes.
MHEC also oversees a separate Guaranty Student Tuition Fund for private career schools as a backstop. The bond is the school-specific guarantee; it is not insurance for you — if the surety refunds students, you repay the surety. We issue the amount MHEC set at a flat 3% with no credit check.
