The Gouverneur Hospital Auxiliary recognizes and honors the service and dedication of past auxiliary members.  Scholarships are awarded annually to students pursuing a career in a medical or health related field.  These scholarships memorialize the efforts of community members who worked tirelessly to provide comfort and care to those in need.  The scholarships are funded by the Auxiliary on an annual basis and the awards are discretionary, depending upon the qualifications of the candidates and the availability of funds.

To be eligible for this scholarship, an individual must be a high school graduate who has successfully completed at least one semester of college and reside in the Gouverneur Hospital service area.  This area includes the towns of Fowler, Antwerp, Edwards, DeKalb, DePeyster, Harrisville, Hermon, Macomb, Richville, and Rossie.  Consideration will be given to current Gouverneur Hospital employees who live outside of the service area.  Applicants must apply for the scholarship on an annual basis.

A committee of Auxiliary members will select the award recipients.  Criteria for selection includes career interest, financial need and academic achievement.

Please mail completed applications to Gouverneur Hospital Auxiliary, Attention:  Scholarship Committee, 77 West Barney Street, Gouverneur, New York 13642.  If you prefer, completed applications may be dropped off at Gouverneur Hospital Auxiliary Life Saver Gift Shop in the hospital’s main lobby.
