• A financial need, to help the student with tuition, books, etc.
  
• A student that has shown the ability to lead others.
  
• A student that shows a strong desire to enter community practice upon graduation and has current/previous experience in community practice.
  
• The student must have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
