The Fort St. James Primary Care Society (FSJPCS) is committed to supporting and fostering the growth of
future healthcare professionals in Fort St. James by offering a sponsorship opportunity for community
members planning to study in healthcare-related fields. We recognize the critical role that healthcare
professionals play in ensuring the well-being of our community and are excited about the job
opportunities available at our new hospital and regional health centres. This opportunity is for
community members entering healthcare-related fields of study not directly from high school.
Our sponsorship program includes a financial contribution of $1000 towards the tuition expenses of the
recipient. Additionally, we are excited to offer a $500 bonus to recipients who choose to return to our
community and contribute to the local healthcare workforce upon completing their education.
To be eligible for the sponsorship, applicants must meet the following criteria:
1. Live in Fort St. James or the surrounding communities the FSJPCS supports.
2. Plan to enroll in a healthcare-related degree, certificate, or diploma program that has a 6 month or
longer completion time and use the $1000 sponsorship towards tuition.
3. Express a sincere interest in contributing to the local community by returning for employment post graduation.
Interested applicants can apply between May 1 and May 31, 2026 by emailing a completed application,
including their resume to Ann McCormick at info@fsjamesprimarycare.com. Applications will be rated
on a points system. Priority will be given to those with experience working in healthcare. Payment of the
$1000 towards tuition will be made when the successful applicant provides the FSJPCS with a letter from
the registrar that proves they are enrolled in a healthcare related program. The deadline to provide
proof of enrollment is May 31, 2027. The $1000 payment will not be made after this date.
