FREEDOM THROUGH SOLIDARITY

Income Share Agreements

An Income Share Agreement allows you to focus on your studies, while CHANCEN eG takes care of your education costs. Your commitment to the community ensures that future generations have the same opportunities. Once you are employed and you earn above the minimum income threshold, your income-based repayments will fund the education of current students.

The repayments are based on your income, meaning that individuals pay a set percentage of their income for a set period of time, to CHANCEN eG. We ensure that your individual needs and opportunities are met. In contrast to a standard loan, there is not a high risk of being faced with the burden of fixed debt or being restricted by rigid repayment plans. The model allows you to freely structure your career path.

Fair. Equal. Together.

Study

CHANCEN eG takes care of education costs so students can focus on their studies. Giving students the freedom to choose a suitable degree and university that best suits their dreams.

Repayment

Contrary to regular loans, graduates repayments are income based. You do not have a fixed amount of debt but rather a repayment plan that is tailored to suite your individual financial capabilities.

Income Threshold

The repayment period only commences once a graduate is earning above the minimum income threshold of 27.000 Euros (gross). This ensures that the repayment plan only starts once a graduate can really afford it.

Capped

The repayment value is capped and ends automatically, should the maximum amount be reached. A high income does not mean that the repayments are excessively high.

Income Share Agreements in Practice

    LAURA, 27

    Assistant Doctor

    “I already knew that I wanted to be a doctor when I was a child. Due to the heavy workload of my studies, I was not able to pursue a part-time job to cover my tuition fees so I opted for an Income Share Agreement. I no longer had this massive financial burden from my tuition fees and could focus on my studies. When I graduated, I immediately found a job as an Assistant Doctor. My income exceeded the minimum threshold and I started repaying my tuition fees to the community. After ten years of repayment, my obligations to CHANCEN eG will end.”

    Entrepreneur

    “I financed my business degree with an Income Share Agreement. After I graduated, I fulfilled my dream and spent a year travelling through South-East Asia. During this time I did not have a regular income and was not obliged to pay back my tuition fees. Once I was back in Germany, I completed a traineeship and was consequently hired by a company. I then started my repayments as my income was above the minimum threshold. I am considering quitting my job and founding a start-up with a colleague. Initially, my income will be very low but with an Income Share Agreement, this is not a problem as I will fall below the minimum income threshold. Once my business is successful I can continue my repayments to CHANCEN eG.”

HOW DOES AN INCOME SHARE AGREEMENT WORK?

The Income Share Agreement depends on the commitment by all members of the community, united in striving for equal opportunities. Some graduates will pay back a smaller amount compared to the initial contribution from CHANCEN eG, where others will pay back a larger amount; this is because the repayment is income dependent. These differences in the repayment amounts are balanced out by the solidarity nature of the community. The risk of an ISA is never carried by one person, rather by the community as a whole.

THE ADVANTAGES, IN COMPARISON TO REGULAR CREDIT

Fair financing offers a great advantage in comparison to regular credit institutions. With a regular loan, borrowers have fixed debt. The high-interest rates and the repayment plans are not income-based. In this case, borrowers also have the risk that their repayments will not be relative to their income. A loan is restrictive, it does not take into consideration extended study periods, parental leave or start-up phases for entrepreneurs. The Income Share Agreement will always adapt to your current income and assesses individual circumstances. We give you the freedom to shape your career.
