Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $6,300

Awards Available: 1

Award Deadline: Jun 1, 2026


The Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship is available every spring for New York State Registered Nurses (RNs) or Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) who are planning to further their career in home and community-based care. Applicants for the scholarship must currently hold an RN or LPN license from New York State to be eligible for consideration. Applicants are asked to write an essay to explain why they would like to pursue a career in home and community-based care and how they plan to achieve that goal through educational or entrepreneurial means. Scholarship funds may be used for tuition, books, specialty training and education, and other education-related expenses.

Scholarship applications are reviewed and assessed by the Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship Committee, which consists of leaders from the home care industry.

Edna A. Lauterbach was a nurse and respected leader in the home care community who believed that skilled nurses are essential to home care. Ms. Lauterbach, who spent her career in home care and was President of two home care agencies in Newburgh, NY, believed nurses and nursing skills were critical to home care, and she encouraged young people to pursue a career in home care through the nursing profession. As an entrepreneur, she felt her limited formal education in business put her at a disadvantage as her career developed.

The Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship Fund, created in her memory, is supported by the NYS Home Care Providers Foundation (HCPF), and was designed to encourage New York nurses to further their education to enable them to build their careers in home and community-based care to support the needs of aging New Yorkers who want to remain in their homes and community.

Application Period Begins in March

The Edna A. Lauterbach Scholarship application for NYS RNs and LPNs is available in April. The application is generously hosted by our scholarship partner, the Community Foundation for a Greater Capital Region. The deadline to apply is June 1.
