Is there any information about what percent of Air Force, Army, and Navy HPSP get into a military residency vs. a civilian deferred vs. a civilian sponsored residency?

I could look into your question and see if there's some data to back it up on Monday. Are you currently in the HPSP ?
It’s dependent on specialty and varies year to year. Right now, Navy medicine is transitioning away from sending interns out to GMO land so the data isn’t super useful since it won’t reflect what next year will look like with this multi-year transition plan.
In general, almost all Hpsp students are steered towards military residencies. Civilian deferred residencies are rare (although do happen depending on the specialty. For example, neurosurgery almost always defers out to civilian. anesthesia selected people for civilian deferred residencies this past cycle but doesn’t always, and pediatrics never does this). It changes year to year, so it’s hard to say what will happen until the BUMED note describing what the selection cycle will look like is released in June of each Match year.

Can only speak to Air Force, but have heard that of the three branches, it has more civilian deferred than pipelined into military.
For the last 3 cycles it has varied between 25-50% matching civilian instead of military residency training.
Also this was unclear (at least the magnitude) and I wish that this was made a bit more obvious. Especially when hearing rumors from the Army/Navy side of having virtually zero civilian deferred unless in one of the sub specialities like neurosurgery

I tell my navy HPSP interviewees firmly: There are no guarantees of anything. You might get a military residency, you might not. You might get your specialty of choice, you might not. You might have to do GMO tour, you might not.
If you're not OK with that uncertainty, don't take this scholarship. If you're flexible and don't mind it, go for it.
Also it's not a scholarship. It's a contract. A scholarship implies free money.
