The Education Finance Institute (EFI) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization focused on building student-centered solutions to make college affordable and to reduce the negative long-term economic impact of student loan debt on students, families and our economy.
What is an Income Share Agreement?
Income share agreements (ISAs) provide an alternative financing source for students to attend and complete post-secondary studies. With an ISA, students receive education funding in exchange for a fixed percentage of the future earnings that their education helps them generate. There is no principal or interest payment obligation; students only make payments when they’re making money.
