I'm a NavyHPSP D1 and school has begun. I thought I'd share what's going on with me and hope some of you will do the same to make sure we're getting what we should - when we should.
1. Tuition - Nobody at my school has asked me for any tuition money or about paying for anything. Boy that's nice. Apparently, it's being taken care of without me doing anything. Now to be clear, I signed and provided information on what seemed like a million naval forms/documents the day I commissioned. I also signed something for my dental school months ago affirming that I was an HPSP student, but that's it. I just showed up and everything is apparently taken care of without me doing anything more. I kind of thought somebody might say where's the money - or come fill out a bunch more stuff or I'd have to do something to get the ball rolling, but apparently the school and the military are in sync. (I will check on getting my deposit money reimbursed soon, but for now - I'm not worried about it.)
2. Reimbursement - I'm keeping up with receipts and for example ordered a rental laptop ... got proper paperwork and signature from school registrar proving it was required and submitted yesterday. I'm hopeful this will work out as easy as tuition, but have no idea how long it will take to get reimbursed. We'll see.
3. Stipend/Bonus - Last week was orientation for my dental school, and my first day of class was yesterday, Monday 8/27. I would love to get my first stipend payment this Friday on 8/31, but have a feeling it won't come until 9/14 or maybe 10/1 or even later. I understand the bonus will be paid within 30 days of the first stipend payment. Hence - we need that first stipend payment to get the ball rolling🙂
I'll share when I get my first stipend and bonus payment (comes in 3 installments) - so you can see if you are getting yours when I'm getting mine. If you are a D1 in any branch please share when you got your stipend/bonus - this way we'll know if we might have a problem we need to check on - since none of us know when we are supposed to get paid. Thanks in advance for any replies.
By the way, I know some of you may have had a school that started in June and you can share with us your timeline as it's possible you are already receiving your stipend/bonus and that will give us all a general idea as to what we can expect.
