  2. You are scheduled to graduate within 24 months.
  3. You are eligible for and successfully obtain licensure as a CRNA prior to commencing your employment with Saint Alphonsus and you maintain such licensure during your employment.
  4. You are in compliance with and, throughout your employment with Saint Alphonsus, continue to maintain full compliance with all Saint Alphonsus policies and procedures, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Saint Alphonsus.
  5. You are eligible for and are able to obtain an eligible Educational Loan as made available by the U.S. Department of Education or a private lender serviced by one of the loan servicers supported by Clasp’s loan repayment platform.

What's the Catch?

We get this question a lot—and we don't mind it at all. There is no catch, and there is no cost to students, with a Clasp program. (Think of it like a healthy relationship—where you can exit at any time, but we sure hope you stay.)

FAQs

What loan options are supported by this repayment program?

If qualified and selected, this loan repayment benefit can be applied to any federal or private education loan that can be synced via the Clasp platform.

You will receive instructions after selection on how to sync your loan servicing information with Clasp's system to facilitate employer repayment after hire.

What are the details of the loan repayment benefit?

If qualified, selected, and hired, Saint Alphonsus Health System will pay back up to $80,000 toward your eligible, synced student loan(s) over 36 months of employment, via the Clasp platform.¹

In case of voluntary employment termination or termination with cause, failure to meet the terms of your sponsorship agreement, or in the event you choose to leave the program at any time, you will pay any remaining outstanding amount.

You are personally responsible for the financial obligations under your loan agreement(s). Any agreement between you and your employer sponsor is entirely separate from your loan obligation(s).

What if I leave the program early?

You can voluntarily choose to leave the Saint Alphonsus Scholars Program at any time. If you do so, you are responsible for paying any remaining unpaid student loan balance(s).

Similarly, if you involuntarily leave the program at any time by violating the terms of your employment or being terminated with cause, you will be responsible for any unpaid balance of your loan(s).²

If I'm accepted, is there anything that could disqualify me from the program?

Yes. If you do not begin employment because of failure to meet the requirements for hire (i.e. failure to gain licensure), if you choose to leave the Saint Alphonsus Scholars Program at any time, if you voluntarily leave employment for any reason, or are terminated with cause, you will be disqualified from the program and any loan repayment benefit facilitated through the program.

In these instances, you are personally responsible for any unpaid loan balance(s) per the terms of your loan agreement(s), and Clasp/Saint Alphonsus have no further responsibility.

Where will I work?

The Saint Alphonsus Scholars Program is available at multiple locations. Please reach out to Saint Alphonsus for any questions specifically related to employment.

Are there tax implications during the employment term?

You may be subject to income tax for some or all of the loan payments made by Saint Alphonsus on your behalf. You should consult with a tax professional if you have any questions regarding tax consequences of the Saint Alphonsus Scholars Program.
