Over 100 applications from veterinary students all over the US are reviewed each year, but only about 30 are offered the scholarship.

If you were one of the fortunate few recipients of the HPSP scholarship, congrats! Welcome to a community of the most dedicated, hard-working, passionate, and patriotic veterinary students in the country. It is a pleasure to serve with you. Click "Read More" to find out what happens for you next.

Unfortunately, the Army is doing away with 2-year HPSP scholarships starting in 2017, meaning if there is no longer a chance to reapply if you were not picked this year. However, there are still ways to become an Army veterinarian without incurring the 8-year contract required by the scholarship! Around graduation time, talk to an AMEDD recruiter about non-HPSP options for joining the Vet Corps: there are Active Duty, Reserves, or civilian opportunities that you should consider. You will still be eligible for the Army HPLRP (health professional loan repayment program) to pay back your veterinary school loans!
