Pennsylvania College of Technology reports that nursing and health sciences students are benefiting from its collaboration with Noodle and Scholars Network, connecting students to guaranteed employment and employer-sponsored loan repayment.
Since the partnership began in February 2024, Scholars Network has helped Penn College nursing and radiography students secure job commitments and loan repayment support through participating healthcare employers. The program gives students a clearer path from school to work while helping hospitals build reliable local talent pipelines.
For Penn College students, the model offers career clarity before graduation: students accepted by participating employers can line up both a full-time role and loan repayment after graduation and licensure. For employers, the program creates an earlier connection with students in high-need clinical fields.
The story highlights students in nursing and radiography, including early participation from Penn College's radiography program. It also describes the program as an enrollment differentiator for Penn College, giving prospective students a concrete way to reduce debt risk while pursuing healthcare careers.
