To be eligible for the scholarship, the students must:

· Declare health care as a field of study
· Have a minimum 2.2 grade-point average
· Demonstrate or has demonstrated an interest in health care (volunteering at a healthcare facility, enrollment in health-related classes/courses, etc.)
· Write an essay on community involvement and/or positive work ethic to accompany the application

Financial need is not a consideration when awarding scholarship money. The scholarships are awarded for the 2004-05 year and will be sent directly to the institution each student will be attending.

The scholarship winners are grateful for the award.

“The money awarded will be put to prudent use. Next year, I will be attending Michigan State University’s Honors College, and some day, I hope to be an orthopedic surgeon,” Frazier said. “This scholarship is a boost toward that future.”

“The money will go a long way in helping me pay for college,” Whitfield said. “I am thankful for the scholarship.”

Added Robinson: “This contribution will help me in more ways than I could ever say.”
