Since 1962 the Auxiliary has supported local students who are interested in careers in the health care field, by providing scholarships. The program started at the high school level but evolved to support Niagara College students in the paramedic program. Every year the Auxiliary supports a scholarship and a bursary with a combined value of $1750 to two students who are chosen based on their academic achievements and community involvement in the Niagara region.
