Does anyone have info on the 3 year HPSP program? I was admitted to UDM for this cycle but I have serious doubts about paying the 450k back by myself. Is it rare to give out 3 year scholarships vs 4 year?
 
3 year is easier to get into than 4 year
This is not true. 4-year and 3-year military scholarships are a completely separate thing. While there are a lot more 4-year scholarships available, 3-year are very limited in number. People that get waitlisted after applying for the 4-year scholarships will be given the priority for the 3-year scholarship in the following year. How many ever left after giving out to those from the previous cycle will be given to those that specifically applied for 3-year scholarships.

Thanks for the clarification! Sorry to give out false info OP. Any info on a 2 year scholarship from the HPSP?
 
Is the 3 year one only for the final 3 years of dental school or can it be for the first 3 years if you apply while you're still in undergrad?
