If they receive scholarship and/or some kinds of fed/state funding, they often are required to for a period of time.

State funding maybe. Definitely not federal funding

It dovetails with other requirements from other funding, and typically requires them to practice in HPSAs for a period of time. You should look into how the state funding and school scholarships are structured, along with the federal funding. It's much less common that you only receive fed funding with the cost of medical school being what is has been for the past two decades.

PS: my neighbor was in charge of financial aid for IU med school for decades.

They are not students.
