What it is and who needs it.
What the education bond actually guarantees
Arizona licenses private colleges and career schools through the State Board for Private Postsecondary Education (PPSE) under A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 30. A bond is a condition of that license, and it is a student-protection guarantee.
The bond stands behind your faithful compliance with Arizona and federal law and protects anyone financially harmed by an unlawful act of the school — including breach of contract, or a failure to deliver the education described in your catalog, brochures, or other publications. A student harmed by the school’s failure can recover against the bond.
The minimum bond is $15,000; above that, the Board scales the amount to a percentage of gross tuition revenue (the percentage depends on accreditation status). An applicant may post a cash deposit with the State Treasurer instead — but a surety bond costs a small one-time premium rather than tying up the full amount in cash.
