Amount: Tuition and approved fees + monthly stipend

The purpose of the HPSP Physician Scholarship program is to provide financial assistance to individuals pursuing a program of study leading to a degree of doctor of medicine or equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic or osteopathic medicine.

NOTE: Pediatrics is not eligible for this scholarship program.

Benefits and Stipend

The HPSP award pays a participant's school tuition and approved fees through direct payment to the school. HPSP assistance includes topping off any existing grants and scholarships to ensure 100% of tuition and required/mandatory fees are paid.

HPSP will pay a monthly stipend directly to the participants. The payment is made for each month a participant is enrolled in coursework, beginning with the first month of the school year. If the participant is a full-time student, the stipend continues through the summer months, provided the participant has not yet completed the participant's degree requirements and is enrolled in coursework. The stipend payment is discontinued the month of a participant's degree completion.

Service Obligation

Recipients are obligated to complete a minimum of 18 months of service, for every year sponsored, at a VA facility after graduation, licensure and residency.
