Frequently Asked Questions
The first step is to apply to the Geisinger Nursing Scholars Gateway Program. It’s best to submit your application when you’re about 9 to 12 months aways from graduating from GMercyU’s bachelor of science in nursing program.
If selected, you will be offered a full-time position as a registered nurse at an approved Geisinger location. Your loans will be repaid over the course of your three-year work commitment.
Geisinger will repay up to $40,000 in loans during your three-year, full-time work commitment. Any loan funding you acquired as part of your undergraduate education can be included as part of the loan repayments.
If plans change and you don’t complete your three-year Geisinger work commitment, you will not be required to repay any payments already made on your behalf. You’re simply responsible for your remaining loan balance. It’s a win-win!
