Nevada Private Postsecondary Education Institution License Bond

A Nevada Private Postsecondary Education Institution License Bond is a type of surety bond that is required by the Nevada Commission on Postsecondary Education (CPE) for all private postsecondary educational institutions (PSEIs) that operate in the state. The bond is in the amount of $10,000 and the cost of the surety bond is usually between 1% and 3% of the bond amount, subject to a minimum premium and fees of $150. Surety1 will shop its many markets to procure the right price at the right terms.  The surety bond is intended to protect the public from any financial harm that may result from the institution’s failure to comply with the Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 394 (NRS 394). If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
