There was one for Army in October, I received a 4 yr then.
What exactly is the 4 years of reserve? I thought most students just serve 4 years and that is it?If you decide to specialize at civilian residency or even military residency, that'd be neutral years; it wouldnt count towards your payback. if you decide to do a GPR/AGED, those will be neutral years too. If you ask to enter a civilian residency right after dental school, you have to request for deferment. But I don't believe the extra two years means 6 years of IRR either; you'd just still do four years of active service study and then 4 addition years on the reserve.
If you take a 4 year HPSP, you are obligated to do 4 years of AD and 4 years of IRR. But, most people consider it just 4 years of service because you dont really do anything as an IRR.What exactly is the 4 years of reserve? I thought most students just serve 4 years and that is it?
Can you please clarify what exactly the IRR is?If you take a 4 year HPSP, you are obligated to do 4 years of AD and 4 years of IRR. But, most people consider it just 4 years of service because you dont really do anything as an IRR.

IRR in this case is not when you awaiting to become an officer. Hpsp officer are put on IRR after their active duty service. Being in dental school does not count towards IRR.IRR is "Individual Ready Reserves" its a status for most veteran who have completed active duty . In the IRR you have absolutely NO commitments. In some cases IRR is also those who are awaiting to go to active duty like PLC officer candidates or in this case HPSP candidates who have not yet become officers in the military.

Hi. Thanks for your input. What bit of information did you find erroneous? Is it the part about being in dental school doesn't count towards IRR?This is not always the case. If you choose to only 4 years then yes you will be put in IRR under any circumstance. However, if you choose to career and serve 8 or more years then you won't have to be placed in IRR. Remember contracts in any capacity are for 8 years hence the 4 + 4. If you've ever in been in the military you would know this. Let's not try and put any wrong information out here folks.

Because what I am saying more or less agrees with what you said. You are contracted with the Navy at the minimum for the eight years after you finish dental school.
You need to explicitly be applying for a 3 yr to go to UoP. Thats my issue. I got a 4 yr army that will not pay for a 3 year school. Im assuming Navy is the same. Bear that in mind.Does anyone know if UoP is your top choice school that it will affect your chances with the Navy Scholarship? (Since it's only a 3 year school)... I know they do give HPSP to UoP students but wasn't sure if it's likely
Hmm thats wierd.... My recruiter didn't mention anything about that. He just asked me what my top school was and I told him UoP and he requested the payment info from them... Hopefully they don't need any other info!You need to explicitly be applying for a 3 yr to go to UoP. Thats my issue. I got a 4 yr army that will not pay for a 3 year school.

Congrats! I know you were hoping for it for UOP! Hopefully USC gets back to you soon too!Got the call this morning! Navy 3 Yr!
Thanks for the response! I think I am just doing all phone interviews, so hopefully I can get them all out of the way soon! Good luck!Once MEPS was out of the way everything went pretty fast and smoothly for me. I was able to do my two interviews within a week of each other, which took a bit of orchestration since I had to go to the "local" NOSC for one of them. I think this all depends on your recruiter though. If your doing all phone interviews then I can't see why it would take too long.

Yes you can apply for that As a D1. Be sure to get everything in by September or even August!So recently I was fortunate enough to receive an acceptance to a dental school. And after looking at the numbers I decided it might be the best for future me to look into an HPSP to help with paying for dental school. After doing some quick research I realized the USS HPSP 2019 set sail a long time ago, I was wondering can you apply for a 3 year scholarship as a D1 or are these scholarships only for incoming dental students.

Does anyone know when the next boards are?
Currently in Navy HSCP program. A little different than HPSP but I have decent knowledge on both subjects.
Will be happy to answer any questions you folks have..
There is none left for the Army HPSP according to my recruiter.Anybody know if there are many 4-year left? Or has that boat pretty much set sail?
......I am STILL waiting on my 2 interviews from the dentists... FMLJust checked and as of right now the next board is this Wednesday. (Of course it changes all the time) Good luck to all of us!
Congrats!! Do you choose when you are ready to swear in or is a date just given to you?Swore in on Wednesday! Army 4 year!
Hello. My question is in regards to HPSP, FAP, and USUHS. I am prior service and am working on finishing up my bachelor's degree for medical school. Unfortunately, medical school does not accept the pre-req. science courses from any online schooling. I am considering whether to get out and finish the last few courses needed and then coming back in using one the above scholarship programs. My main concern is, how likely is it that prior service members who get out to finish/further their education and try to come back using one of these programs are accepted? What exactly is the service commitment that one will have to give back and what benefits do you receive while under any of the scholarship programs? Thank you.
As far as I can tell, you have the same chance as any other candidates. This is the Dental Navy HPSP thread, but I've heard medicine is 2 for 1. 2 years for every year they pay for you, but I am not 100% sure. The HPSP benefits vary from branch to branch, but generally the Navy and Army gives $20,000 signing bonus, O-1 pay during school, health insurance, etc.
No one here will know about USUHS as they dont offer a dental program.
