Through a student loan repayment platform, Peanut Butter, Horizon offers qualified team members up to $600 per year toward student loans.

There’s no maximum contribution limit either. Work with Horizon for five years, and we will contribute at least $3,000 toward your student loans.

But wait, there’s more! Horizon employees in all positions are eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, so you can do good for yourself while doing good for others. PSLF allows qualifying Federal student loans to be forgiven after 120 qualifying payments while working for a qualifying employer like Horizon.

Additional Federal Loan Repayment Programs through the NHSC are also available for clinical and even some paraprofessional positions at eligible clinics. These generous programs offer loan repayment awards of $50K – $100K or more in exchange for service commitments to do the lifesaving work you were already committed to doing. It’s a win-win!
