Air Force HPSP for DNP-FNP

Published

Hi all,

I am currently in a direct entry MSN program and will graduate in August 2021 and be eligible to take the NCLEX. I also got accepted to a DNP-FNP program. I am interested in going into the Air Force after getting my DNP-FNP. I am currently trying to find info on the requirements to get the HPSP to pay for my DNP-FNP program and go straight into the Air Force after graduating. I will graduate no later than January 2024 with my DNP. I plan on working as a RN during the DNP program (so that should give me about two years of RN experience). Has anyone experienced applying to any branch of the military's HPSP program for their nurse practitioner degree and would be willing to share their experience?

As of now, HPSP isn't given to FNP track. Army specifically is only giving out to people who are studying psych track. 

Same with the VA HPSP (they have the same program) just for Mental Health NPs

Do you know if you can still apply for this if you plan on joining the reserves or if its only active duty?
