Can you do a dual degree MPH program if selected for the NHSC scholarship?

[dentpin1123]

Hello, everyone! I know this cycle hasn't even opened yet, but a huge goal of mine is to be able to complete an MPH degree while a dental school. I'm interested in applying for this scholarship, but I would reconsider if they wouldn't allow me to do the dual degree in dental school.

Pretty sure you can do whatever you want while in school, they just probably won’t pay for the MPH (unless the tuition invoice is combine and then they might do it accidentally). The only guidelines/restrictions are that you have to stay in good academic standing while in school and find a qualifying job within 6 months of graduation (assuming you don’t do one of their approved residencies). Other than that, I don’t see why not. I completed a certificate of public health my last year in dental school. They didn’t know about it, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have cared if they did.
