If you have to pay that back isn't a better term for it a "loan"?

(Disclosure: I work for Lambda.)

Two big differences: - A loan, generally, is something you have to pay back. If you don't get a job making over $50,000, you don't pay Lambda a cent. - Loans generally have interest, which Lambda ISA payments don't.
