8. I paid for college with an ROTC scholarship.

Nov 2021

It was a win/win for me since I wanted to at least begin my legal career in the Army for the trial experience (which I got in spades).

The military also offers scholarships for medical school. The Army program: https://www.goarmy.com/amedd/education/hpsp.html?iom=ARRN-21-NMTF_N_PSEA_71700000078534486_700000002153587_43700059585438013_58700006592312892_military+medical+school+scholarship&gclid=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z-o6PYHlI_5Gt6wsdRDgOu3pv2xLRcgTEisT0gAO1EdfpVr-ypo0PhoCw1AQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

There would be an additional service obligation but, again, it could be a win/win.
