Each year, St. Anthony's invest in our philosophy of “growing our own” by making a multi-million dollar commitment to education and training programs for our employees.
Scholarships

St. Anthony’s has provided support to 79 sons and daughters over the past four years, with 13 new scholarships, totaling $64,000, awarded this year. Since its inception, the program has awarded more than $1,400,000 in scholarship support.
