Navy Health Professionals Scholarship Program – (Submission deadline ongoing)
What is HPSP? The Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program is a program that will enable you to obtain a fully funded education in the fields of Medicine, Dentistry, Clinical Psychology, Physician Assistant, Podiatry or Optometry and a commission as a Naval Officer. In this program, 100% of your tuition, required school fees (excluding housing and meals), required books and equipment are paid. An approximately $2,100 per month stipend is paid when in the program and not on Active Duty, and 45 days of Active Duty pay and benefits (as an Ensign/O-1) are awarded each year. The amount of Active Duty pay varies based on your marital status and prior military experience, but is generally in excess of $4,500 for the period. In addition to these benefits, a $20,000 signing bonus is paid to individuals signing up for the medical or dental HPSP programs. In return for these benefits, participants agree to serve on Active Duty, not in a training status, one year for every year of participation, with a minimum service obligation of 3 to 4 years on Active duty.
