Newell-Combs Scholarship

The Newell-Combs Scholarship will be awarded to Athletic Training Education students at Purdue University. These scholarships serve not only as a tribute to "Pinky" and Dr. Combs, but as a reward for the time and effort our athletic training students dedicate to the athletic program and the University. The recipient shall possess the ideals of scholarship, dedication, professionalism, sincerity, loyalty, and citizenship; the ideal Pinky Newell held to be most worthy of an athletic trainer.

The successful candidate will be selected based on the following criteria:

1. The student shall have distinguished himself or herself academically with a minimum GPA of at least 3.0 for a minimum of 60 credits.
2. The student shall have performed with distinction in the Purdue University Athletic Training Education Program clinical experience. This level of performance shall be weighed equally with the academic criteria.
3. The candidate's desire to pursue athletic training as a career is certainly preferred, but is not a requirement.
4. The student shall have conducted himself or herself both in and out of the athletic training room and classroom in such a manner so as to be a credit to athletic training, intercollegiate athletics, and Purdue University. This includes the qualities of leadership in serving as an example to their fellow students.

To apply, please complete the application and submit to Jane Bline. The deadline to apply is October 1.
