Question about HPLRP after ROTC

[nrryan]

I am about to contract with a 2 year scholarship for Army ROTC here in the next couple weeks and I have a question about HPLRP. I see it listed on the website but there are not many details on it. Since I am going to be receiving a 2 year scholarship (for ROTC), I believe my required active duty commitment is 4 years. My question is, am I still eligible for HPLRP after I go active, or am I ineligible since I've already gotten the 2 year scholarship? If I am, what is the additional commitment that I would be taking on if I do HPLRP?

I ask because I have more loans than just the past 2 years and I am trying to plan out how I will pay them off, and the HPLRP would definitely help as long as I am eligible!

Thanks for the help everyone!

I would be very careful and find that stuff out before hand. The good news about ROTC is that you at least lock in a spot in the reserves nurse corps...active duty if your grades are good (very competitive right now). However, I'm pretty sure the sign-on bonuses and ADHLRP are to entice experienced/already licensed healthcare providers to join. I was never ROTC, but whoever is in charge of ROTC must have that information.
