LeapED Income Dependent Variable Loan

We take care of your tuition cost, and you only start making payments after you’re employed.

To achieve this, we make use of income-Dependent Variable Loan (IDVL), which are contractual agreements that enable students to attend educational programs without paying up-front tuition. In exchange, they pay a percentage of their post-graduation income for a fixed period of time.

This flexible financing solution can be tailored to schools’ needs and their students to continue working towards long-term success.

What is an Income Dependent Variable Loan?

  • An Income Dependent Variable Loan (IDVL) is a type of loan designed to finance your education

  • It fits your needs since you don’t have to start repaying it until you have finished your studies and you have a job.

  • Unlike traditional loans, IDLVs adjust to your income level once you are employed; if you earn more, you pay more, but if you earn less, you pay less.

Is it a good option to finance my education?

  • Indeed, they are designed to fit the needs of students with no funds or support to pay for their education.

  • You obtain the funds now so that you can focus on your studies and only start repaying it once you have secured a job.

Are IDVLs better than traditional bank loans?

  • They are better suited to the average student in need of funds

  • They do not require you to provide a guarantor or collateral to secure it

  • They’re not based on your current income or assets

  • They are based on your future potential, once you have finished your studies
