¹ Eligibility requirements apply, and program selection is not guaranteed. If qualified, selected, and employed by TPMG for 2 years of employment, TPMG will pay make payments on your behalf toward your eligible student loans in monthly installments via the Clasp platform up to a maximum of $20,000.
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/s. 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 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 TPMG on your behalf. You should consult with a tax professional if you have any questions regarding tax consequences of the TPMG Loan Repayment Program.
