A registered provider in the Ohio Autism Scholarship Program must file a surety bond safeguarding the scholarship funds it receives. The amount is the greater of one-twelfth of last year’s scholarship funds or $10,000, capped at $250,000. We issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard autism scholarship bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the state. Here is the whole thing:
Your provider details, the required bond amount, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your Autism Scholarship Program provider paperwork. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure the program rule requires and the premium updates.
The Ohio Autism Scholarship Program lets families of children with autism use state scholarship funds to pay an approved provider for special-education services. Providers register with the state, and under Ohio Administrative Code 3301-103-07 a registered provider must post a surety bond.
The amount is the greater of one-twelfth of the scholarship funds the provider received in the prior year or $10,000, with a $250,000 cap — so it scales with how much scholarship money flows through you, while staying bounded at both ends.
The bond is a financial guarantee to the state: if a provider violates the program rules or mishandles scholarship funds and causes a loss, the state can recover against the bond. The bond runs continuously and renews annually for as long as you participate. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.
