As I understand they only cover DNP programs. HPSP only covers three years as well. There are very few programs that would qualify, but there are some out there that may.

I wouldn't give up until you get all the information. I've heard of physicians in their 60s that joined the military. Doctor, 61, joins Navy to honor son - latimes Doctor, 64, Joins Army for Afghan Duty | Military.com

Lucas- Are you prior service? That may allow you to still apply over the age cutoff, as long as it was an honorable discharge. Apply anyway, and get a waiver as necessary. Badger the recruiter -they often prioritize based on likelihood of completing the application. At MEPS you have to duck-walk at your physical, and other calisthenics. I go active duty this summer as FNP so I run daily, plus with a run-club once a week, all to make sure I'm in shape. Can you run 1.5 miles? That's pretty tough to do if you don't run every day and you're getting up in age. Why don't you join a running club to get in shape? Don't forget push-ups and sit-ups!

I'm currently in HPSP, in my 3rd semester working on my FNP/DNP. It's great to be able to go to school full-time and yet get a paycheck. I graduate in 2018.
