With an Income Share Agreement, you can focus on your studies at the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin, while CHANCEN eG takes care of your tuition fees – partially or in full. In exchange, you commit to affording future generations with the same opportunity. Once you start working as a psychologist or a psychotherapist 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.

Psychology Student
“I am an educator and I’ve worked in this profession with all my heart and soul. After a short while, my curiosity drove me to study psychology, in order to develop myself personally, to expand my professional skills and to gain a deeper understanding of the world. The Income Share Agreement means a great deal to me – my parents simply cannot support me financially forever.”
Dr. rer. pol. Rainer Kleinholz
Chancellor of International Psychoanalytic University
“As a foundation university, we are dependent on proportional financing through tuition fees. With the Income Share Agreement of Chancen eG, the fees can be financed in a socially acceptable and equitable way. Thus, studying at the IPU Berlin does not depend on the financial background, but only on personal abilities.”
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, repayments are not required. Your repayment period is shifted to a time when you earn above the minimum income threshold. The relevant income is the positive income (gross) reduced by income-related expenses. The flat-rate deduction for self-employed persons 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.

Here you can download some repayment examples and learn further about repayment.
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.
