About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A barber school bond is a student tuition-protection guarantee. Mississippi conditions a school of barbering on a $25,000 bond so that, if the school stops operating, unused tuition is refunded to the students who already paid for instruction they won’t receive.

It’s a three-party arrangement: the school (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee), with enrolled students as the protected parties. If a school closes mid-term, harmed students can recover their unused tuition against the bond.

The bond must stay in effect for the duration of the school’s operation. Let it lapse and the school’s standing with the Board is at risk — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous. The application collects no credit information; most applications approve instantly, and if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

Miss. Code § 73-5-7Section 73-5-7 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as administered by the Mississippi State Board of Barber Examiners, requires every regulated school of barbering to maintain a $25,000 surety bond to ensure that, if a school ceases operation, all unused tuition fees are refunded to the affected students; the bond must remain in effect for the duration of the school’s operation. File it on the Board’s current School Surety Bond form.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Mississippi barber school bond? ▾

The premium is $250 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond — the same for every school. The $25,000 bond amount is set by statute, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $25,000? ▾

No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

What does the bond guarantee? ▾

That if your school ceases operation, unused tuition fees are refunded to the affected students. If a valid student claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for the school.

Is there a credit check? ▾

The application collects no credit information at all. Most applications on this bond approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't affect your score.

When does it renew? ▾

The bond must stay active for the duration of the school’s operation. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so the filing never lapses over a missed email.
