Can’t Afford College? Get a Corporate Sponsor!
February 26, 2009 Posted in Reality

College is expensive. Really, really expensive. Even with scholarships and financial aid, most of us are left wondering how we are going to pull this off.
Of course, there are several ways to approach the issue:
1. We could go to Mom and Dad (assuming they could help in the first place, or that you want them to – this is a slippery slope to giving them more influence over our futures than some of us our comfortable with)
2. We could take out a loan (but that means lots of scary paper work, co-signers, and debt)
3. We could sell our virginity
3. We try out the newest trend: human capital contracts.
In my opinion the name sounds a lot scarier than it really is. It might just be me, but the words “human” and “contract” ooze creepiness and give me visions of living as a sex slave for the rest of my life. Fortunately for me, thats not the case here.
Human capital contracts are the newest resource in paying for higher education. Basically, investors (companies) would agree to pay for your education in return for a percentage of your future income over a fixed period of time which is scaled to your wages. Unlike loans, you are essentially using your education as collateral, betting on yourself and your abilities. Meaning the more you earn, the more the investor will take. The flip side being, the less you make, the less they are entitled to.
Of course, anything dealing with finance and debt and signatures makes me hyperventilate, so naturally I had some questions. The most important ones being, “What do I stand to gain?” “Why are investors interested in my education?” And, of course, “Will I end up chained to a radiator in the basement if I don’t get a job?”
Here’s what I found:
Human capital contracts are set up as a potential win-win for investors and students. The risk is transferred from students to investors but still draws investors in because they could potentially gain more than they would on a traditional loan (which earn investors money through interest charges). This idea could potentially open the market up, as it is no secret that in today’s economy loans are limited due to rising costs and government funding is rapidly being withdrawn. But with this new alternative more kids could finish college and become productive members of society.
Unsurprisingly, with any good idea there are some drawbacks. These drawbacks mostly surround investors, but students should be aware of what they are getting into as well. The biggest issue right now seems to be getting students who are potentially interested in higher paying jobs (doctors, lawyers, future millionaires etc.), to balance out lower income jobs (starving artists, writers, non-profits, and, um, me) because these are the students who will earn investors money. Admittedly, I was wrong with my whole sex slave theory, but critics are saying that this agreement resembles a form of indentured servitude because you are in some ways owning a piece of someone else… but the same could be said about traditional loan arrangements, right?
What do you think? Would you be interested in human capital contracts to pay for school?
Tell us what you're thinking...

Yes, I've been looking for/into them intensively for the past few weeks.

I think this is totally scary. They do in fact own a piece of you and because this whole concept is so new, I kinda doubt there are any ocncrete laws or regulations surrounding it. Basically the whole idea scares the living daylights out of me and even though I don't know how I'm going to pay for my education, this just isn't an option for me.

What if instead of taking ur money out of your income ,they have you work for them for a period of time ?
john says:
Sat, 7th Mar 20097:18 pm
I might have to look into this.
Crystal says:
Sun, 8th Mar 20091:06 pm
Yes i would definitely look into that, how would you go about approaching a company about this? When i became an NAR they paid for my schooling and gas to get to the classes, but they asked ME about it, i would not know how to ask a company. Any ideas??
Mary says:
Mon, 9th Mar 20099:12 pm
I'd consider this just because I'm so sick of getting denied for loans and being to old for most scholarships. It does sound kinda scary though. Even if what the company makes is scaled to your income they could potentially "own you" for as long as they feel it takes to get back their investment…which could be your entire life.
megan says:
Wed, 11th Mar 20098:33 am
I think in order for this work in the long run specific expectations will have to be explicitly clear. For example, a specific time in which the company is entitled to a portion of your income (for example 25 years- similar to a morgage.) Also the percentage they take should be noted in the contract you sign. Also, potentially working for the company (if you have skills they are in need of) should be another way to pay off the debt. Just some ideas.
Max (yes I'm a says:
Sun, 5th Apr 20094:24 pm
I would DEFINATELY be into this, because even WITH the biggest possible student loan this year I will NOT be able to afford moving to my school (3,000 miles) living there (dorms are freaking expensive, $600 a month for PART of a room), living expenses (food, basic clothes, etc) and all that… if I get the maximum possible student loan, all the scholarships through my school already, PLUS a part-time job, I'll still be THOUSANDS in the red… Still owing $5,000 to the school I'm transferring from (on top of $50,000 in debt from my years there) don't help either. :/
If ANYONE knows of a company who would do this, or a company in the video-game-design industry willing to do something similar, please PLEASE PLEASE email me and tell me about it…

Hello I'am a Native American living on a Reservation in South Dakota. I attend a community college but the only problem is it's thirty miles away and i have no car to get there, so i have to depend on a transit bus. It's my second year attending and i'm going for my associates degree in general construction. But noone ever told me about the ups and downs in college so i'm learning the hard way. Each day i wake up with worries on getting thru the day or how my children are doing, i gave up everything so i can see my children grow up better than i did. It hurts me to see my family struggling because i'm the only one who attends college. That's why i keep going even if i can't pay for college there's always a way, every mmorning i pray to god to help me stay strong. Because i'm not the type of person who would give up if there's another day there's another way. So who ever reads this please take note: i'm not writing this because of something stupid i need help from a person who has a good heart and i can represent in a good way. Pilamaya (Thanks)

PS: is the loan non collateral ? i mean what are the normal conditions and terms….any one any ideas??
Does anyone any body who has taken such offer and benefited from it and from which company??
any alumni vouching for such companies?? I really don't believe in the concept of some one owning someone else….i mean agree on the condition only if you can pay of the bills and its way better of than the alternative being a drop out…at least with this you have a chance….i am interested in high income jobs(okay call me greedy B!@#$$d but i am willing to take the risk) i believe more students should use this chance to better their profile value though i admit there are risks as well ….

From what you say here, you should look into leaving high school early. Wait until junior year to really see though, since it's the toughest. If you wait all 4 years your scholarship amount should be great. However, freshman year is easy. Really easy. So you shall see…

I'm a freshman college student but I never finished the year, I only took the first semester then I had an Absent without Leave (AWOL) due to financial problem. When I decided to continue my studies at my college university, I couldn't cause I still have an unpaid student loan. My parents are separated, I live with my mother but I don't receive any financial assistance for my studies. I'm more than a year left behind. I would really like to come back and finish my course. I tried applying for scholarships but they ask for official copy of grades, when I tried to get one from my University I figured out that I can't get any academic records from them unless I had my student loan paid. Another thing is that not even one of the scholarships I applied for has a program which will pay loans and bills I had before my scholarship term with them. Meaning to say, I really have to pay the student loan. As of now I am planning to withdraw my studies in the University to start all over at a different school, but I'm hesitating to. Every year 60,000 students take the exam to get into the University where I'm currently AWOL, and that I know, I'm so fortunate that I qualified. But of but and but, what should I do? I really want to finish college.

Dear Precious People,
I am a Kenyan citizen aged 19, I sat for my KCSE in 2009 and attained a grade C-.
My parents broke up in the year 2000 and so we lived with our Mum who struggled alot to pay for our fees.
But before I could sit for my KCSE, my Mum got very ill and was admitted resulting to my drop out of school to care for my siblings.
And after the release of my KCSE results nobody was willing to pay for my college fee.
I therefore would wish to request the WELL WISHERS to sponsor me to pursue Diploma in Hotel Mgt. and I would be extremely grately.
Thanks in advance.
Yours sincerely,
Moses Berriahs.

I am a college junior and played basketball at the community college I attended. Even with the athletic and academic scholarships, I still owe thousands of dollars to a community college. My GPA is a 3.8 and I now have to take winter term off because I can't afford to attend school. According to FASFA, my parents make too much money for me to receive much help, but my parents are living paycheck to paycheck and are barely able to make ends meet. Every week something is getting turned off whether it is electricity, internet, or gas. I love going to school, I even want to become a college professor. I think in this economy it is like only the rich , afford to go to college. I have tried to apply for private student loans, but got denied by everyone. My credit score is 650, but since I don't really have a credit history they won't approve me. .
lindseybaby22 says:
Tue, 3rd Jan 20125:29 pm
I also tried applying with a cosigner. I tried my mom, my dad, and even my grandma. They all have credit issues so I got denied with a cosigner too. It is really sad that there are so many people across the US who would love to go to school, but don't have the opportunity or resources. It also kills me to see the people who can afford to go to college blow the money on partying and not going to class

As a single mother and full time employee, full time student. I totally understand the indentured servantude theory. I actually feel like I make more going to school, than I do working. Morey money goes to trying to work, than anything. If I had a corporation that'd actually pay for my eduation so I could finsh, I'd be willing to take that step, considering I won't ever be making enough for anything else anyway.
