Has anyone gone this route to pay for vet school or know someone how has? What has been your/their experience with the program? I've been entertaining the idea lately, but am still a bit skeptical about it.
I have had this same question, and spoke to a recruiter about it. The website says scholarships require a minimum 3 year commitment, and it can go up to 4, but then the recruiter told me it is a 1, 2, or 3 year scholarship... I am very confused now.
Here's what I was told:
The scholarship will cover all of your expenses for however long you are in school - so for vet school they would cover all four years. In return, you have to commit to the military however long they paid your schooling. So, if they paid for four years of school, then you owe them four years of service.
I don't know of anyone who has actually done it or what their experience was, though I would love to know what others think. I have also been considering this scholarship, especially since I'm a military dependent.
And does anyone know if they allow you to pursue internships and/or residencies before active duty?
