2. Disadvantaged Definition:

A) What is the definition of disadvantaged? An individual from a disadvantaged background is defined as someone who:

(a) comes from an environment that has inhibited the individual from obtaining the knowledge, skill, and abilities required to enroll in and graduate from a school (environmentally disadvantaged);
OR
(b) comes from a family with an annual income below a level which is based on low-income thresholds according to family size published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, adjusted annually for changes in the Consumer Price Index, and adjusted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for adaptation to this program (economically disadvantaged).

B) What are some examples of environmentally disadvantaged?

The Department expects that eligible students who meet these criteria will

(1) Have the abilities needed to succeed in a health career, but come from backgrounds and educational environments that have made it difficult for them to reach and fully demonstrate their academic potential; and
(2) Are more likely than other students to provide care to underserved areas and populations following completion of their degree.

EXAMPLES - schools are not limited to these examples only:

(1) The individual graduated from (or last attended) a high school with low SAT score based on most recent data available:
(2) The individual graduated from (or last attended) a high school from which, based on most recent data available:
(a)low percentage of seniors receive a high school diploma; or
(b)low percentage of graduates go to college during the first year after graduation.
(3) The individual graduated from (or last attended) a high school with low per capita funding.
(4) The individual graduated from (or last attended) a high school at which, based on most recent data available, many of the enrolled students are eligible for free or reduced price lunches.
(5) The individual comes from a family that receives public assistance (e.g., Aid to Families with Dependent Children, food stamps, Medicaid, public housing).
(6) The individual comes from a family that lives in an area that is designated under section 332 of the Act as a health professional shortage area.
