​Opportunities for Delta Grade 12 StudentsDelta Hospital and Community Health Foundation Scholarship
Since 1988, the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation has worked with the community to raise funds to support Delta Hospital. We are the public face and philanthropic arm of Delta Hospital, raising the financial resources necessary to provide quality and innovative health care services, purchase much-needed state-of-the-art equipment, fund capital projects and building improvements, and support ongoing education of medical staff that government funding alone cannot provide.


In its second year, the Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation Scholarship of $1,500 is awarded to a deserving student pursuing a post secondary education with plans of a career in either healthcare or philanthropy. Participation in extracurricular activities, engagement as a volunteer and demonstrated leadership capacity has a major bearing of an applicant’s success.

​Jonah Christensen Memorial Scholarship

At our tenth annual Magical Evening fundraiser in 2018, we were pleased to announce the beginning of the Jonah Christensen Memorial Scholarship, an annual scholarship of $1000 to be given to one student each year to help fund their post-secondary studies. This scholarship was created by the Christensen family in memory and in celebration of Jonah’s kindness, curiosity, mischievousness, and energetic drive to live life to the fullest. We hope this annual award will encourage youth to reflect on these qualities as they look toward their future endeavours.

First Round – Qualification

• Any applications that do not meet our requirements, for example if the applicant is not attending a post-secondary institution registered as a charity or did not answer the essay question, will be rejected.

Second Round – Shortlist

• All eligible essays will be assigned a random number to avoid bias and the Scholarship Administrator, Hannah Christensen, will read all eligible essays and grade them based on the following criteria:
  • Creativity (/5)
  • Style and organization (/3)
  • Punctuation, grammar, spelling (/2)
  • Content (/5)
• Tips: Make sure your essay is creative, concise, and clear. While you should make some mention of relevant extra-curricular activities and future goals, focus more on telling a compelling story than cramming in your entire résumé.

A shortlist of 5 essays will be selected from this round.
Final Round – Selection

• A final panel of the Christensen family and/or Celebrate the Child volunteers will read and evaluate the final 5 essays selected in the Second Round, and determine the final winner.
