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.)

¹ If qualified, selected, and employed by OhioHealth for 36 months of employment, your employer will make payments on your behalf toward your eligible student loans in monthly installments via the Clasp platform up to $30,000. Any payments made by your employer are not subject to clawback—you do not have to repay them to the employer under the program.
However, you are still responsible for your student loan. If you voluntarily leave your job, are terminated for cause, or do not meet the terms of your employment or repayment agreement, your employer will stop making payments, and you will resume making be responsible for making payments on your remaining loan balance. Your agreement with your employer is separate from your loan obligation, and your responsibility to your lender remains unless payments are made by your employer or another party on your behalf.
² You may be subject to income tax for some or all of the loan payments made by OhioHealth on your behalf. You should consult with a tax professional if you have any questions regarding tax consequences of the OhioHealth Student Loan Contribution Program.
