常见问题
什么是收益分成协议?
一般来说, 收入分成协议, 或ISA, is a contractual agreement in which a student receives education funding in exchange for sharing an agreed-upon percentage of their post-graduation income over a defined number of years.
拉克万纳为什么要提供ISA?
拉克万纳大学 is offering 收入分成协议 to fight back against student loan debt, 挑战教育行业的现状. 通过提供ISA, high-quality education becomes more accessible to those who may be unable to receive other forms of financing 和 reduces the risk a student takes by pursuing an education.
拉克万纳股份储蓄账户是否意味着取代学生贷款?
ISA帮助支持多个专业学位课程的学费, but it does not cover other expenses incurred during the course of a student’s education, 像交通, 生活费用, 或者个人学习材料，比如笔记本, 移动PC, 等. 个人储蓄账户的目的是取代私人学生贷款，只考虑学费.
对学生有什么好处?
isa为学生提供了传统债务之外的另一种选择, which creates substantial risks to students if they cannot afford their payments during 和 after the program, so ISA payments adjust according to levels of income 和 begin after the program is completed. 除了, ISA计划包括许多消费者保护措施, including the ability to delay or defer payments if a student’s income is below a monthly threshold.
我是否需要全数缴付在ISA下给予我的款项?
An ISA recipient is simply required to pay the agreed upon percentage of post-completion earned income for the prescribed term of the contract, regardless of whether they end up paying more or less than the amount the received up front. And those who earn more than their peers will never have to pay more than the payment cap amounts.
ISA的支付规定是什么?
ISA只在学生收入达到或超过1666美元的月份发放.67，相当于年薪2万美元. Monthly payments will be a portion of the ISA participant’s monthly income for 60 months, 或者直到达到学费上限, 以先发生者为准. The percentage of a participant’s monthly income required to fulfill their ISA payment will depend on the amount of funding they initially received, 除其他因素外. 在学生完成ISA之前，所有的条款都会被告知.
如果我的收入低于1666美元怎么办.每月67元?
The student may request a deferral 和 no payments will be owed if the student either:
- 至少在全日制高等教育或培训中注册;
- 收入少于或等于1,666美元.66美元/月(相当于20,000美元/年);
- 是失业;
- 或者不在劳动大军中.
每延期一个月，我们可以将付款期限延长一个月, 最多额外二十四(24)个月.
我可以提前退出或满足我的ISA吗?
If you desire to fulfill your obligations under this ISA prior to the expiration of your payment term, 您可以随时支付与付款上限相等的金额, 减去你已经支付的月供, 加上任何未付费用, 作为对本协议项下的付款义务的全面履行. 除了, the sum of the total payments you owe under this agreement will not exceed the payment cap, 再加上披露的费用, 不管你的收入如何. 为了方便消费者，还可以选择提前付款, but there are no financial or other benefits whatsoever to students who pay off their ISA early.
Will the amount I am responsible to pay grow through interest expense until I begin making payments or by my occasional underpayment?
个人储蓄账户不是贷款，也不需要支付利息. 除了学费之外, the only additional expenses a student may incur are associated with late payments (not to exceed $5) or returned payment/check fees ($25).
对学生有什么风险?
The total payment amount is capped at two (2) times the up-front funding you receive, 即使你毕业后收入很高. This may provide a risk to students who are among the highest income earners 和 may be more expensive than taking out an interest-bearing student loan. The only other risk that you face is if you do not fulfill your obligation to provide up-to-date income information or to make payments based on that income. If that occurs, your account will become delinquent 和 may eventually go into default.
ISA总付款上限是多少?
The cap on total ISA payments is two (2) times the up-front funding or credit you receive, 再加上与逾期或退回付款有关的任何费用. 学生在达到上限后将不再付款, 即使他们每月还款少于60次.
毕业后，lakawanna ISA付款计划何时生效?
在完成或退出程序时, students are given a 6-month grace period to find a job 和 settle into their career. 付款将在6个月宽限期后的第一个月的第一天开始.
ISA支付如何运作?
Monthly payments are calculated by applying your income share to your total monthly earned income, 这笔钱会以每月账单的形式寄给你. 你的收入包括两个方面:
- 你的工资, 工资, 提示, 和 all other earned income that you report on line 7 of IRS tax form 1040 or line 1 of IRS tax form 1040-EZ, 和
- 您在国税局纳税表1040第12行申报的营业收入.
然后你可以在网上或用支票付款. Payments pause if you return to school, lose your job, or have a monthly income below $1,666.67美元，相当于每年2万美元.
我需要签什么文件?
