Hello,
I have been accepted to a Post-bacc/MD program and am trying to figure out the best way to fund my education going forward and have my undergraduate loans repaid.
I am currently a 1LT in the military and was previously considering HPSP, however I'm beginning to think that's not the best choice financially. HPSP requires me to start back as a 2LT and finish as a CPT when now I am eligible to make CPT next year and by the time I finish school i'll be approaching the promotion board of MAJ. Also, HPSP doesn't do any loan repayment and would require me to be active duty blocking opportunities for loan repayment in the civilian sector.
1) What are some other programs (other than HPSP) that can take care of my student loans and pay for medical school with a stipend?
2) Can the NHSC scholarship program be accepted in conjunction with a reserve military commitment? (I.E. Do the scholarship for current funding/stipend and work in a rural area and use military reserve commitment to pay off loans)
Any help would be great!
