About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the career school bond actually covers

New Hampshire regulates private postsecondary career schools under RSA 188-G, through the Higher Education Commission. Before a license is issued or renewed, the school must furnish surety indemnification — a surety bond is one of the accepted forms, alongside an irrevocable letter of credit or a term deposit.

The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it is conditioned on the school, its officers, agents and employees faithfully performing the tuition and instructional-fee contracts they enter into with enrolling students. If a school closes mid-program or breaches those contracts, students can recover prepaid tuition against the bond.

The amount is generally 10% of the school's gross tuition, with a $10,000 minimum. If the surety cancels or discontinues coverage, the school's license is revoked by law on the effective date unless a replacement bond is filed — so we track yours and notify you well ahead. Enter your figure and we issue at a flat 3%.

RSA 188-GNew Hampshire RSA 188-G governs private postsecondary career schools under the Higher Education Commission.

The required amount is generally 10% of gross tuition with a $10,000 minimum; if bond coverage is cancelled, the license is revoked as a matter of law unless a replacement is filed. Confirm your amount with the Commission.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the New Hampshire career school bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The amount itself is generally 10% of your gross tuition (minimum $10,000) under RSA 188-G, so enter that figure and the quote updates.
How do I figure out the bond amount? +
It is generally 10% of your gross tuition, with a $10,000 floor. The Higher Education Commission sets the exact figure for your school — confirm it with them, then enter it and the premium updates.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the career school bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What happens if my bond is cancelled? +
Under RSA 188-G, if the surety cancels or discontinues coverage, the school's license is revoked as a matter of law on the effective date — unless a replacement bond is filed first. We send renewal and lapse notices well ahead so that never sneaks up on you.
Can I use a letter of credit instead? +
RSA 188-G accepts a surety bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or a term deposit. A surety bond is usually cheapest — you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up the full amount in bank collateral or cash.
