EIA referrals

Refer your university. Grow your impact.

Earn €150 for every student who enrols from a university you introduce us to, plus a €500 bonus once three of them enrol. Most universities send more than one.

One good contact can open the door to a whole cohort. Every qualifying student from that university counts for two years after your introduction.

Illustrative estimate. Registration alone does not earn a reward. Qualification criteria apply.

  1. Register the contact

    Name, email, role. That's all we need to start reviewing your introduction.

  2. We take it from here

    Our university team handles the conversation. You're not expected to sell.

  3. Earn per student

    €150 per qualifying student for two years, plus €500 once the third qualifies.

Make the introduction.

Register your university contact and we'll take it from here. You do not need to make the pitch yourself.

Your contact's details

A person from our team reads every one of these.

Who should I introduce?

The people who can actually send students are usually one of these four. If you have a name and an email, that's enough. You don't need to make the pitch yourself.

  • A professor who teaches entrepreneurship, innovation, design or venture creation
  • Someone in the study abroad, international or exchange office
  • The head of your entrepreneurship centre, incubator or student startup club
  • A careers or employability advisor who recommends summer programmes
  • Your reward

    €150 per enrolled student + €500 at three

    For every qualifying student from the university for two years after the introduction.

  • Your part

    Your introduction is the whole job

    A person from our team reviews every introduction and handles the next steps.

Qualification criteria

Same principle as friend referrals: new contact, submitted first, paid on enrolment.

What counts as a qualifying university referral?

All four of these must be true:

  1. The university is not already an EIA partner and has not sent students in the last two years.
  2. The contact is not already in our records, and we have not approached them in the last 12 months.
  3. The contact responds to us at least once. A name that never replies doesn't create the relationship.
  4. A student from that university enrols and pays for a 2027 or 2028 program.
What if my university already works with EIA?

Then the introduction doesn't qualify on its own. But if you can help us grow the numbers there, such as a new faculty, a bigger cohort or another department, email info@inacademy.eu first and we'll agree something before you start.

Do I have to pitch EIA myself?

No. The introduction is the whole job. If you want to join the first call we're glad to have you, and it usually helps, but it isn't required and it doesn't change what you earn.

When do I get paid?

Per student, within 30 days of each student's tuition clearing. The €500 bonus is paid alongside the third student's reward.

Just want to refer a friend?

Individual referrals earn €150 each, and your friend gets €150 off.
