What it is and who needs it.
What the school bond actually covers
New Jersey licenses private career schools — trade, vocational, and other tuition-charging programs that prepare students for the workforce — through the Department of Labor & Workforce Development. Licensure is conditioned on a surety bond that protects students’ tuition.
The bond is a tuition-protection guarantee. It stands behind the school’s obligation to honor its contracts with students and to follow the State’s rules — so that if a school closes mid-program, students can be made whole for tuition paid for training they did not receive.
The amount is the greater of $20,000 or 5% of the school’s gross annual tuition income over the prior three years, so larger schools post larger bonds. If a school fails and students are harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, the school repays the surety.
