Why it works

Their loans supported, federal or private

Access and optionality are two of our favorite words. Clasp students can access loan repayment benefits whether they have federal or private loans. We simplify the process and partner with employers who are ready to help them repay any eligible student loan.¹

I have always been supporting myself and my family. Being able to knock out two years of debt is just an incredible, incredible opportunity… It eases a lot of worries about what life looks like after school.

How it Works

Transforming lives, together.

When you share a Clasp opportunity with your students, you’re not just helping them secure their future, you’re giving them access to a community that’s invested in their success—long before they graduate. (And we’ll be here every step of the way.)

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.
