Can one do HPSP for just 1 year?

[hs2013]

Could one do the HPSP for just their final year of dental school? I doubt you'd get any bonus then but would you still get the $2,000/mo? Also are you pretty much guaranteed to be deployed then during your 1 year of service you would have to do?

I think 2 year HPSP is as low as they go. They may have 1 year HPSP scholarships, but that would also require a 3-year payback obligation (which I believe is why 1 or 2 year ones are rare). If you take the 20K sign-on bonus, you have a 4-year payback obligation.

If you're that much on the fence about joining the military, why are you even considering it? You know you could just apply for NHSC instead and not worry about being deployed right (even though I think it would be much more hazardous to work in certain inner city areas than on a ship or base)? You even stated that you're not interested in serving the country at all and you're solely doing this for the money so if I were you, I would look at other opportunities because boy, judging from all your posts and questions, it sounds like you're gonna be one depressed son of a gun once youre in the military.

Further the OP believes there will only be one year of obligation instead of a minimum of three without the bonus and four with it!

You're really set on the bare minimum on a lot of things aren't ya?

OP, the military is not for you. Apply for NHSC.
