100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship

The source entry does not publish a complete document checklist for this specific scholarship, so students should follow the current Peter Skene Ogden local scholarship application package. Likely supporting information includes the student's intended post-secondary program, evidence that the field is health sciences or medically related, academic record or standing information, and any explanation of financial need if the local form requests it. Students should also include the details specifically requested by the scholarship criteria: whether they were a Candy striper, are currently a hospital volunteer, or have a family member working at the hospital. If the school requires proof of acceptance, enrollment, or other standard scholarship documents, those instructions should override this summary.

Who is eligible?

Students applying through the local Peter Skene Ogden scholarship process may be considered if they are entering a health sciences or medically related post-secondary field. The auxiliary page describes the scholarship as being offered to a graduate from the local high school who plans to enter a medical field, so the applicant should be part of the local graduating-student context rather than a general external applicant. Suitable candidates include students with good academic standing, students who can describe financial need, and students with health-care volunteer or family connections such as Candy striper experience, current hospital volunteering, or a family member employed at the hospital. Applicants should be ready to explain their program choice and future medical or health-related direction.

Who is not eligible

This scholarship is not a general grant for organizations, businesses, or community projects. It is not intended for applicants who are not students in the local scholarship process, students who are not pursuing post-secondary education, or students whose planned studies are unrelated to health sciences or a medically related field. Applicants with no evidence of good academic standing may be less competitive because academic standing is named in the criteria. A request that does not explain the student's health-care education path, local high school context, or relevant financial need or hospital connection would also be weak. The source does not describe direct applications from the general public to the auxiliary, so applicants should not bypass the school scholarship process unless the school or donor gives updated instructions.

Eligible expenses

The scholarship list does not publish a detailed eligible-expense schedule for this specific award. Because it is a student scholarship tied to post-secondary health sciences or medically related studies, applicants should frame the funds as support for education-related costs such as tuition, required fees, books, supplies, or other costs allowed by the school's scholarship process. The amount listed for the 2026 scholarship is $500, so the award should be treated as a modest contribution toward the student's education rather than full program funding. Applicants should follow any instructions from Peter Skene Ogden Secondary or the local scholarship office about how awards are paid and what proof of enrollment or acceptance is required before funds are released.

Ineligible Costs and Activities

The scholarship is not designed to fund non-education activities, business expenses, organization operating costs, travel unrelated to study, or projects outside the student's post-secondary health or medical education path. Students planning studies outside health sciences or a medically related field should not rely on this award. The source does not indicate support for applicants outside the local graduating-student scholarship process, nor for applicants who cannot demonstrate good academic standing. Requests that omit the required health-field connection or fail to follow the school scholarship process may be considered incomplete or ineligible. Because the scholarship list is subject to change, students should verify any additional exclusions in the current application package.

Eligible geographic areas

The opportunity is local to the 100 Mile House area in British Columbia. The detailed source is the Peter Skene Ogden Local Scholarships 2026 list, and the auxiliary page says the scholarship is for a graduate from the local high school who plans to enter a medical field. Applicants should therefore treat the relevant geography as the local school and community served by the 100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary rather than a province-wide or Canada-wide open competition. The provider is based in 100 Mile House and supports the 100 Mile District General Hospital, while also recognizing that many local patients are referred to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. For database purposes, the country remains Canada and the practical service area is local British Columbia.

Selection should focus on the criteria named in the scholarship list: enrollment in health sciences or a medically related field, good academic standing, and possible financial need. The source also asks students to note whether they were a Candy striper, are currently a hospital volunteer, or have a family member working at the hospital, so those details may strengthen the fit. A strong application should connect the student's post-secondary program to a future health-care path, show that the student is academically ready, and explain any financial need or community-hospital service connection. Because the source says the scholarship may be awarded, final selection remains discretionary and may depend on the local scholarship committee, the donor, and the strength of other applicants.

1. Review the current Peter Skene Ogden local scholarship package and confirm that the 100 Mile House District General Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship is listed for the current graduating year. 2. Confirm that the student is entering health sciences or a medically related post-secondary field and can show good academic standing. 3. Prepare the school scholarship application materials requested by the local scholarship office, including program plans, academic information, and any statement of financial need if requested. 4. Clearly note any Candy striper experience, current hospital volunteer role, or family member working at the hospital. 5. Submit through the school or local scholarship process by the stated local deadline and follow any instructions about award acceptance or proof of enrollment.

Applications are expected to be handled through the Peter Skene Ogden local scholarship process rather than through a direct public grant intake. The school, local scholarship committee, or donor representative may review applications against the published criteria and decide whether the award will be granted. The source says the scholarship may be awarded and the list is subject to change, so applicants should not treat the award as guaranteed. Students should keep copies of their submitted materials, monitor communications from the school, and be prepared to provide any follow-up proof of post-secondary plans if requested. The final timing, recipient announcement, and payment mechanics should be confirmed with the local scholarship office.

The 100 Mile District General Hospital Auxiliary is a volunteer-run local auxiliary that raises funds through community activities such as vending, a gift shop or tuck cart when available, concerts, garage or yard sales, bake sales, and raffles. Its profile says the auxiliary supports the welfare of the 100 Mile District General Hospital, purchases equipment, donates to Royal Inland Hospital because many local patients are sent to Kamloops, and offers a yearly scholarship to a local high school graduate entering a medical field. This background explains why the scholarship emphasizes health sciences, medical studies, hospital volunteering, and local community ties. Applicants should use the current school scholarship list as the operative application source.
