Student Bursaries and Scholarships

St. John Ambulance Canada is committed to making post-secondary education more accessible for its volunteers.

We are proud to offer bursary and scholarship awards to eligible volunteers who have vision, goals and a commitment to serving their community.  If you can demonstrate academic achievement and financial need, if you have leadership qualities and a commitment to high standards in your chosen field of study, if you are dedicated to upholding the ideals of St. John and have a desire to continue to serve your community through St. John Ambulance, then you may be eligible to receive a bursary or scholarship award.

Whether you are entering post-secondary education for the first time or returning to continue your program, St. John Ambulance can support you as you pursue your studies by providing financial assistance through your life as a student.

The “James A. Albery Memorial Fund” was created in 1998 by the family of the late James Albery for the purpose of providing post secondary school education [bursary] funding for youth members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade.

These experiences can take many forms, such as internships and international exchanges, short-term professional development courses, and academic programs at the postsecondary level. Each of these learning experiences should strive to contribute to strengthening St. John’s organizational capacity.
