A stipend recipient who is dropped from the program must either serve one year of active duty for each year they got the stipend, or repay the money, unless the Secretary excuses them. Nobody can get this stipend while also receiving benefits under a separate loan-repayment program.

(a) Failure to Complete Program of Training. (1) A member who, under regulations the Secretary of Defense prescribes, is dropped from the program for falling behind in training or for other reasons, may be required, at the discretion of the relevant Secretary, to (A) perform one year of active duty for each year, or part of a year, the person received financial assistance under this section, or (B) comply with the repayment rules in section 303a(e) or 373 of title 37. (2) The Secretary of a military department, under Secretary of Defense regulations, may relieve a dropped member from any requirement under (1), but that relief does not excuse the member from any other military obligation imposed by another law. (b) Prohibitions of Duplicate Benefits. Financial assistance may not be provided under this section to a member who is also receiving financial assistance under section 2107 of this title.
