The Penn Highlands Healthcare Scholars Program

Secure employment at Penn Highlands and receive up to $65,000 in loan repayment funds!

Through a special partnership with Penn Highlands Healthcare, GMercyU students in the following programs can apply for Penn Highlands' exciting loan reimbursement opportunities in exchange for a three-year work commitment after graduation and licensure:

Nursing ($40,000 loan repayment)
Occupational Therapy ($65,000 loan repayment)
Respiratory Care ($40,000 loan repayment)
Radiologic Technology ($30,000 loan repayment)
