Clasp is a workforce and student-financial support platform that connects clinical students with employers before graduation and ties employer-sponsored student loan repayment to employment commitments. Focused on healthcare roles (nurses, therapists, radiology techs, CRNAs, PAs, dentists, veterinarians, etc. ), Clasp partners with schools, programs, and health systems to build hiring pipelines, increase retention, and reduce student debt burdens. The company supports students, employers, and universities—claiming 10,000+ students and 1,140+ schools & programs supported—and operates a loan repayment benefit platform (Clasp itself is not a bank; loans referenced are issued by FinWise Bank).
