Does anyone have experience with the 2 year HPSP scholarship?
I know the Air Force pretty much makes you do the AEGD (which doesn’t count towards the payback) then you owe 3 years of service. So 4 years total. I go to a pretty pricey Dental school. I’m looking at about $500k in debt when I graduate, so HPSP looks like a nice option, even if it is only half of my tuition.
My main concern is if it will be a challenge to live off of the AF salary while making monthly payments on my remaining $250k in student loan debt. I’m married and we plan on having kids in the next few years.
I’m also interested in specializing, which throws an extra monkey wrench into the equation.
Any insight would be much appreciated!!
