Tech Impact is now offering an Income Share Agreement (ISA) program issued by Blue Ridge Bank, N.A. as a funding option for PunchCode participants. Income Share Agreements are a flexible alternative to traditional fixed payment installment loans or conventional tuition payment plans. ISA financing enables students to launch their careers without the heavy burden of debt.
How does an ISA work?
- Monthly payments are based on a percentage of your income.
- ISAs are also called Income Driven Payments (IDP).
- Your credit score does not affect the terms of your ISA.
- Payments do not start until you meet the minimum salary threshold in your ISA contract.
- You only make ISA payments within a specific timeframe, usually 3-7 years. After that, your obligation is over.
