Income Share Agreement
Income Share Agreements (ISAs) are a flexible alternative to traditional fixed payment installment loans. Basically, students pay a percentage of their future income for a set period of time, up to a maximum cap, without accruing interest. Unlike a loan, students do not pay until they find a job and reach the minimum income threshold. The payments adjust according to the level of the student’s income – providing downside protections for the student. ISAs may be issued by Blue Ridge Bank, N.A.
- Students do not pay until they find a job and reach the minimum income threshold
- The payments adjust according to levels of the student’s income
- Monthly payments are calculated by applying the income share rate to the total monthly earned income
- ISA obligations can be ended earlier by making early payments as listed in the early payment schedule

ISA vs. STUDENT LOAN COMPARISON
| Income Share Agreements   VS.     PLUS/Private Loans | |
| Interest does not accrue or capitalize. | Interest accrues and capitalizes. |
| Your credit score does not affect the terms of your ISA. | Your credit score may affect the terms of your loan and could impact your eligibility. |
| Monthly payments are based on a percentage of your income. | You pay a fixed amount each month, regardless of your income. |
| Payments don’t start until you make above the minimum salary level in your ISA contract. | You make payments, even if you are not making an income. |
| You only make ISA payments within a specific timeframe, usually 5-7 years. After that your obligation is over. | Loan payment term can extend indefinitely until you pay off the principal and interest. |
| You know the maximum amount you’ll pay, no matter what. | Interest is capitalized, so the final payoff amount can increase over the life of the loan if you do not make minimum monthly payments. |
