All branches of the Armed Forces (Air Force, Army and Navy) offer this program. They provide 100% coverage for tutioin, fees, and required book and supplies.

In addition, students receive more than $2,700 per month stipend (before taxes) throughout the time they are in medical school (this includes the summer months and those months in which you are not in school) and more than $3,400 for the 45 days of the required active duty (clerkship) time you would serve during the summer months. Since many students attend school the entire year, the active duty (clerkship) status is often spent at the individual's school of medicine rather than at the branch of service involved.

In return, students agree to practice medicine in the particular branch of the military based on the length of time they receive support in medical school. Some military branches also offer a $20,000 sign-on bonus that requires no additional active-duty service time.

Requirements: Undergrad GPA must be 3.2 or highter and have a 500+ MCAT score
