With the Income Share Agreement, you can focus on your studies at The Akkon University of Human Sciences while CHANCEN eG takes care of your tuition fees. In exchange, you commit to affording future generations with the same opportunity. Once you start working and earn above the minimum income threshold, you start making income-based repayments.
The Income Share Agreements (ISA) ensures equal access to education with a fair financial solution, irrespective of your current financial status.
CHANCEN eG makes it possible for you to study as you wish. During your studies, CHANCEN eG pays your tuition fees and you can concentrate fully on your education.
After you graduate, you pay back a pre-determined portion of your income to the solidarity community - so, unlike a loan, there is no fixed debt burden.
Repayment does not begin until you exceed the minimum gross income of 27,000 euros, less income-related expenses. Therefore repayments are only made if you can really afford it.
At the same time, your contribution is capped and ends automatically when you reach the set maximum limit. Therefore, a high income does not mean an extremely high repayment.

“It is important for us to open up the freedom of an unencumbered and independent study completely according to the individual talent with the reversed generational contract. Our graduates* should be able to get involved in their profession without having to worry about money”.
During your studies, we take care of your tuition fees, partially or completely. When you graduate, income based repayments are made to Chancen eG over a 8 year period. Should your annual income be less than 27,000 euros less advertising costs. Your repayment is then shifted to a period when you earn above the minimum income threshold. The relevant income is defined by the sum of positive income (gross) reduced by advertising costs. For selfemployed persons, the flat-rate deduction is 16.4%.

General interest rates are changing a lot at the moment due to the central banks’ reaction to inflation. As a result, the costs of CHANCEN eG are also changing significantly. CHANCEN eG may therefore have to change the conditions at short notice.

As soon as your annual income exceeds 27.000 Euros (reduced by advertising costs) you start repayments to CHANCEN eG, set at a fixed percentage of your total income. To calculate your individual annual repayments, your annual tax return statements are disclosed to us. Should you take a sabbatical or choose to study further your repayments are put on hold until you can afford to pay them again.

Your repayments ensure that future generations also have access to education using this fair financial model.
Your repayments are discontinued once you have reached the end of the repayment period, irrespective of the sum of money you have paid back. You are welcome to continue being a member of CHANCEN eG and engage in educational funding opportunities for future generations.
