A Georgia Postsecondary Educational Institution Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Georgia Nonpublic Postsecondary Education Commission. The bond amount is determined by the school’s annual tuition revenue, ranging from $20,000 to $200,000. The cost of the surety bond is usually between 1% and 3% of the bond amount. Surety1 will shop its many markets to procure the right price at the right terms.
