The South Carolina Nonpublic Postsecondary Institution Bond is required by the Commission on Higher Education. The bond states that the bondholder, or Principal, will faithfully perform the terms and conditions of contracts for tuition and other fees entered into.

How is the bond amount determined?

The minimum amount of the bond should not be less than ten percent of the projected annual gross income of the proposed program to be licensed, in $10,000 increments. If the projected income is less than $5,000, the initial bond must be at least equal to the projected income, but it cannot be less than $5,000.
