How difficult do you think it will be for me to get an asthma waiver for the dental HPSP scholarship? I am a 21-year-old male, 5'11", 165. I have played sports all of my life, and I only ever needed meds to perform well in sports, not to get by. My last refill was in 2022, and I have not...

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...

Also what branch/specialty

Hello, I am currently a D4 dental student on the HPSP. I was wondering if anyone had guidance for some financial support to pay for the ADEX licensure exam and future living expenses for the lapse in stipend payment before attending ODS apart from using credit cards? It’s my understanding that...

Hello, has anyone here recently had luck enrolling in TSP during HPSP ADT? (specifically Army with no prior service to dent/med school) I have seen conflicting things on mil med sites, SDN, and reddit. Per the below linked navy website : "HPSP and FAP participants can only open a TSP account...

Hi all, I am in the midst of putting my packet together for the HPSP. I will be starting at VMCVM August 19th, and I am really really really hoping I am successful in getting this scholarship. I figured we could use a thread to ask questions/updates. I currently still need to schedule MEPS, my...

And what did you like/dislike about it

I am starting as an M1 this fall and was looking at potentially pursuing a 3 yr HPSP after receiving my financial aid. However, pretty much every thread or forum post I have looked at touts the shortcomings and major disadvantages of the program. I am currently interested in more surgical...

When I registered for INBDE, I got a receipt email from JCNDE. However, HPSP told me that JCNDE is not on the authorized list for reimbursement, but on their reimbursement list, INBDE is listed as reimbursable. HPSP keeps asking for a receipt with the green ADA letterhead on it but when I...

I applied as a PharmD Scholarship Candidate as of 3/26/24. If anyone has applied this year, what is your current status? Mine still says submitted as of today. When emailed they said that they don't have an ETA on review for pharmacy submissions.

That I can “only proceed with one branch at a time” for HPSP. This sounds like BS…do I just tell him I haven’t decided yet and want to pursue both AF and Navy?

I'm sure this question gets posted a million times so my apologies in advance for starting a 1000th thread on it. Basically unless I get off the waitlist for my in-state school, I'll be attending UAB as an OOS student (~$107,000/yr total cost). I'm potentially interested in specializing someday...

Pre-dental student here applying to the Army and Navy HPSP. I have already done my MEPS for Army and still have to get my physical checked off for Navy. I am aware that MEPS only needs to be completed once and that recruiters can share MEPS info amongst each other. However, I am also aware that...

I've been in contact with recruiters about the HPSP scholarship and was wondering if I can apply to more than one branch (or all three) at the same time? I've heard that you can apply to all three, and if you're accepted to more than one then you can choose which branch you'd like to enter. I...

I have Competitive stats and started the HPSP process as soon as i could. Ive had 3 interviews already and the issue is that my family wants me to increase my odds and apply to all branches of the HPSP. HOWEVER, I made the mistake of working with the USAF first and this recruiter is getting...

Hi yall, I am an incoming D1 student and possibly looking into applying for the HPSP scholarship in 2024. I read many forums on SDN and cannot decide if I should apply for the scholarship or not.

Hi everyone! I am pre-med and will matriculate this fall 2023. I have applied for the Air Force HPSP and am set to attend MEPS next week. As the official commitment gets closer, I am getting nervous about making such a huge commitment. I am looking for honest and thoughtful guidance on HPSP and...

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...

So I have been fortunate enough to be accepted to both WVSOM and MSUCOM. I am not sure where to go, but, deposits are coming up so I am trying to decide which one to choose. I have received the HPSP and plan to use it to pay, so tuition costs don't matter. Would anyone be able to provide any...

Also why didn't you opt for the minimum service length of 2 years? Just out of curiosity. Thank you in advance!

I'm a current first-year veterinary student applying for the Army HPSP. I have searched through older forums but haven't seen many for this cycle. My packet is basically complete (at least for paperwork to submit on my end and completing MEPS). I received an email a couple of days ago saying...

So, I know that there are probably other threads out there where I could find the answers I'm looking for if I did some digging, but I'm looking for recent answers to just a couple questions so I'mma go ahead a create a new thread, (1) When should I apply to HPSP (or I guess reach out to a...

Hi All, I’m looking for some advice on whether joining the Army or Air National Guard will hinder or aide my progress for applying to med school. It will most certainly prolong the process but I’m still interested to hear others opinions. I’m several years away from applying because I need to...

Hi everyone, I have been working with an HPSP recruiter and today they asked me to send a picture of my social security card and birth certificate for my security clearance since I am currently living 14 hours from the town where my recruiter is and cannot go in person to have them scanned. I...

I recently withdrew my acceptance from USUHS after choosing to attend a civilian USMD program instead. I just couldn't overlook the ≥7 year obligation plus the many cons of milmed discussed on these boards: lack of control over my career and family life, limited job opportunities for my SO...

Hi all, I'm an active duty Army MAJ with 18 years in, all commissioned. I'll likely be starting med school via HPSP in July of this year. Reading up on the regs it looks like that upon graduation from med school I should be awarded 1/2 credit, so I should start residency as a CPT with 9 years...

Is anyone on here applying for the Navy HPSP Clinical Psych program? I am submitting my packet soon and wanted to see who all was also applying!

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...

The reality of HPSP is seen on first contact with uniformed service members at MEPS. HPSP is not suited for young adults with good morals who simply want to pay down student loan debt. If you are troubled by harsh language, crude jokes and lack of respect for the individual, you will not like...

Greetings, I am applying for Army and Navy HPSP and wondering whether accepting the 20k bonus for Army will bind me to the Army program even if I get accepted to the Navy after. Should I reject the 20k army bonus in hopes that I get into Navy HPSP? Or can I sign for the Army bonus and go Navy...
