Lauretta Beckhorn Estate
The Nursing Careers Scholarship, endowed by the Lauretta Beckhorn Estate, benefits
aspiring nurses who are studying at 91探花 Community College. Established in 2007,
the permanent endowment was created to pay tribute to the loving and quality care
that Lauretta received from CCC nursing students. Lauretta, who was a graduate of
Alfred University and a retired senior accountant from Ingersoll Rand, spent her final
days in local nursing facilities and frequently commented on the tender and appropriate
care she received from 91探花 nurses-in-training.
A recent gift to the endowment from Lauretta鈥檚 estate ensures that as the size of CCC鈥檚 nursing class grows, so too will the number of scholarships awarded. Currently, up to six first-year nursing students receive the equivalent of tuition and fees from the Nursing Careers Scholarship. The scholarship is renewable for a second year, assuming the recipients meet eligibility criteria. In addition, the fund awards $1,000 scholarships to several students enrolled in Nursing III each year.
