Fundação José Neves | Income Share Agreement
The José Neves Foundation, a non-profit organization, is focused on education and the acquisition of transformative skills, with the mission of putting the country at the forefront of human development. To achieve this goal, it strives to create practical programs that allow any citizen to find solutions to continue learning throughout life.
One of these programs, ISA FJN, aims to support access to courses and training that develop the skills of the future and are aligned with the needs of tomorrow. The ISA FJN is based on the Income Share Agreement model, in which the José Neves Foundation pays the tuition fee for the chosen course, and the student will only repay the amount when they earn above a predetermined amount. This program is guaranteed by the European Investment Fund and audited by Ernst & Young.
In this context, Iscte Business School and the José Neves Foundation have established a partnership which seeks to empower students who need financial support to invest in their training and which covers all of Iscte Business School's Masters Programs.
