But Oregon State University student Ryan Allowitz won't be one of them. Allowitz, a 1990 graduate of Gervais Union High School, has earned one of five full dental school scholarships provided by the U.S. Army. For 90 days each year, Allowitz will be assigned to a military medical facility for training and will receive full second lieutenant's pay. You see the full spectrum of dental needs, the facilities are usually excellent and you have a good support staff. While the Army offers only five four-year dental scholarships, they also offer 45 partial scholarships and 290 medical school scholarships.
Cash is also available for veterinarians, optometrists and doctoral clinical psychology candidates.
