hpsp army

Hi, everyone. I am a second year medical student at a very expensive, private DO school. I joined the Army HPSP shortly after starting my first year, accepting the 4 year scholarship. I found out yesterday that I failed the last in-house exam of second year by a few points, and unfortunately, my...

I am an Army Healthcare Career Counselor and wanted to start this forum for anyone who is interested in applying for HPSP this year and wants to connect for answers to specific questions they may have!

I am an incoming med student applying to the HPSP scholarship. My recruiter has told me not to worry about my credit history. However, I am reading everywhere that a credit check will be performed. I was in a bad place in life and had accumulated 10k in collections from 6 years ago. These are...

I greatly appreciate your insight in advance! Has anybody here used the Army HPSP while on active duty? If yes, the following are my questions: 1- What was your GPA and DAT score? 2- How long did it take to receive the scholarship? 3-Did you receive the $20K bonus? How long did it take to...

Hi all, I'm a prior service Cadet (I've been in a National Guard Rifle Company all 5 years). I commission with YG 2026 (planning on infantry) and I'm extremely interested in attending one of the top 4 carribean med schools. I'm familiar with their admission requirements (each are slightly...

I am writing this because when I applied I couldn't find any resources to advise me, so maybe this post can help future applicants. So I have pretty LOW dental school GPA, like Below 3.0 and when I approached my local AMEDD recruiter the Commanding officer straight refused to work with me...

I am a first-year medical student in the HPSP with the army, and I recently failed the anatomy portion of our most recent exam. The retake for this exam will be in the summer when I have applied to attend BOLC. Who should I contact in regard to this, and when will I be able to attend BOLC?

Hello everyone! I am an incoming dental student and had just received a call from my army recruiter regarding my acceptance into the four-year program. Super thrilled at the moment. I would like to know what will happen going forward and what to expect if I want to do a residency after...

I am strongly considering applying for US Army HPSP when I (hopefully) attend medical school. I would like to be an emergency medical physician, but my parents don’t agree. I would not be doing it just for the money, although the funds would eliminate debts. I have been interested in joining the...

Hello all, I am a recently graduated from undergrad with an Army ROTC scholarship. I have been offered a HPSP scholarship to attend medical school. My undergraduate scholarship was for 4 years of active duty time after commissioning. I know that the HPSP scholarship is a one to one per year...

Hello Everyone I wanted to ask how much do General Dentists make in the military after graduating from Dental School like their first year. 1. We get base pay as captain of approximately $4,500. 2. We get paid Basic Housing Allowance and Basic Allowance for Subsistence My question is do we...

I am divided between NYU and Buffalo. I am from brooklyn so I can stay home and commute which is 1 hour to an hour and 15 minutes. If I stay in buffalo then I save commuting time but I will live by myself so have to do cooking and other chores. NYU Pros: - GET HPSP and save $450,000 tuition and...

Hello all! Is there anyone on here that has done the military HPSP to pay for vet school, or know anything about this scholarship? Is it just the Army that offers this or is it Air Force as well? And can anyone speak to the number of years of service this requires after graduation and how many...

Hey everyone! I was looking into the HPSP, for dental school and I was wondering if the actual height/weight requirements for the army/navy/air force also applied to recipients of the HPSP. Let's just say that I'm a fair amount higher than the maximum weight limit for my height... I was...

I'd like to first start off by saying that I've always wanted to serve, so no I would not be applying just to "pay for med school". Now that that's out of the way lol, I am considering applying for the HPSP scholarship with the Army, I've read about the problems with not getting the residency...

Hello all - I am a class of 2024 dental student, starting school next month. I received a conditional acceptance to the Army dental HPSP beginning of this year, the "condition" being I pass my commissioning physical screening. I know this is highly unusual, but I was granted a waiver to bypass...

Hello, I am currently on the Army OML for the 4 year HPSP. I have been since February. My question is basically, does anyone know if there is still hope to get off the waitlist at this point? I know in past cycles people have gotten off the waitlist around mid-June, but is July too late? Also...

I was board-selected for an Army HPSP 4-year scholarship back in June 2019. I've been waiting on a disposition waiver to process that has taken a really long time. According to my recruiters, the waiver has been signed by all officers except for the last senior official (a general). I started...

Hello all, I have been reading up on the HPSP and I noticed that many people mention how HPSP is not attractive because after medical school, specialists don't get paid as much as they would in the civilian world. After some research, I see that this is mostly true (please correct me if I'm...

Good afternoon, I was fortunate enough to get an acceptance while serving as an enlisted active duty soldier. However, I still have two years left out of my 5 years AD contract and HPSP is the only way that I know to get out from my contract. Does anybody know what are other option just incase...

Since Public Health Dentist is a designated MOS on the Army's website, I figured that they would have their own dental public health residency program. However, I haven't been able to find anything on it or what qualifications you need to be considered a 63H. If anyone has any insight on the...

Started this thread for those applying to Vet School/HPSP this upcoming cycle. All questions welcome about application process or army questions. Good luck!

4 Year HPSP Army Scholarship- I was accepted a couple weeks ago. Scroll came in. I was accepted into a 3 calendar year dental school starting this summer 2018. Is it possible to apply my 4 year scholarship to this 3 year school?

I'm a HPSP applicant (waiting to hear back from boards whether I will be offered an acceptance). I have already been accepted to several private medical schools so saving money in addition to serving my country is rather appealing. Hesitant about HPSP only because of potential skill atrophy...

I first named this thread as "Army HPSP - Dilemma" but I decided to change it to the current name. It seems like there's no HPSP thread for dental students class of 2022 yet. So while I'm asking for my concerns, why don't we all share what we got! Here's my story: Made the cut for 4 yrs Army...
