Episode description
If you're looking into becoming a medical professional, but are unsure of how to pay for the programs, this episode is for you!
During Matt's first year of medical school, he realized that $80k of debt per year was going to set him back far further than he was willing to put up with. When he realized that most other students had alternative ways of paying for medical school, Matt began doing his homework on scholarships.
Matt found the Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP) through the U.S. Navy. This program enabled him to complete the remaining three years completely for free, and in addition was even getting paid every month to go to school!
Matt talks about his experience with the program, what he wish he knew beforehand and all the benefits and costs that weren't obvious to him when he originally signed up.
