¹ Program selection is not guaranteed. If qualified, selected, and employed by a participating employer for a specified employment term, the employer will pay back up to a specified amount toward the student’s eligible, synced student loans in installments via the Clasp platform. In case of voluntary employment termination or termination with cause, failure to meet the terms of the student’s sponsorship agreement, or in the event the student chooses to leave the program at any time, the student is responsible to pay any remaining outstanding amount. The student is personally responsible for the financial obligations under their loan agreement(s). Any agreement between the student and their employer sponsor is entirely separate from their loan obligation(s) and will not in any way offset their obligations to their lender unless payments are made by them or any other party on their behalf.
