About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Under Nebraska’s Private Postsecondary Career School Act, a person employed to recruit students or otherwise represent a school is a school agent and must hold a permit and a $5,000 surety bond with the Department of Education.

The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it backs the agent’s conduct in recruiting and enrolling students, so a student harmed by the agent’s violation of the Act can recover against the bond — up to the $5,000 amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Schools with several recruiters can instead use a blanket agent bond covering all of them in one filing.

Neb. Rev. Stat. 85-1601 et seq. (school agents)Nebraska’s Private Postsecondary Career School Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 85-1601 through 85-1658) requires a school agent to hold a permit and a $5,000 surety bond with the Department of Education. A school may instead cover its agents under a blanket bond. Apply in the individual agent’s name using the agent’s home address; confirm the current amount and form with the Department of Education.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nebraska career school agent bond?It’s $100 flat — the price our carrier sets for this specific bond, not a percentage of the $5,000 amount. Same price for every agent.
Whose name goes on the application?The individual agent’s — apply in the agent’s own name using the agent’s home address, not the school’s. The bond covers that specific recruiter.
Can the school bond me instead?Yes — a school can cover its recruiters under a blanket agent bond in one filing. The individual $5,000 bond is for an agent who isn’t covered by a school’s blanket bond.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there’s no credit section to fill out. Bonds like this usually issue instantly; on the rare filing where a check does run, it’s a soft pull that never affects your score.
How fast will I have it?Often the same sitting. Small fixed bonds typically issue right after purchase, and at most within 1–2 business days.
