An Income Share Agreement (ISA) is a financial arrangement in which a person receives funding from an investor or organization in exchange for a percentage of their future income over a specified period of time. ISAs are commonly used to finance education, particularly in higher education where students may not have the means to pay for tuition upfront.
- Agreement: The person and the investor/organization enter into a contractual agreement. The terms outline the amount of funding provided and the percentage of the person's future income that will be paid back to the investor.
- Funding: The investor provides the person with funds to cover recurring expenses such as tuition, fees, and sometimes living expenses or equipment expenses.
- Income Share: Instead of making fixed monthly payments like a traditional loan, the person agrees to pay a certain percentage of their income after turning pro for a specified period of time, often capped at a maximum total repayment amount.
- Income Threshold: Payments typically begin once the student reaches a certain income threshold. If the student's income falls below this threshold, payments may be suspended or adjusted accordingly.
- Repayment Period: The repayment period usually has a maximum duration, after which the agreement is considered fulfilled even if the total amount has not been repaid.
- Risk Sharing: ISAs often incorporate risk-sharing mechanisms, meaning that if the student's income is lower than expected, the total repayment amount may be less than the initial funding provided.
ISAs offer some advantages over traditional student loans, such as more flexible repayment terms and potentially lower overall costs for students who have low post-graduation incomes. However, critics argue that ISAs can be complex and may not always be the most affordable option for students, depending on the terms of the agreement and their future income prospects. Additionally, there are concerns about potential exploitation of students, particularly if the terms of the ISA are unfavorable.
