Each year the Chesapeake Hospital Auxiliary awards several scholarships to students currently pursuing a career in the health care field and who are attending a college or university or who are enrolled in an accredited program of study. The Holiday “Light the World” project contributes to the scholarship fund; the donations received for each sponsored holiday tree light make up the scholarships. There is a scholarship offered through the Barbara O. Hodge Endowment Fund. Barbara was a Life Member of the Hospital Auxiliary.
