Education Grants
Between 2004 and 2013 the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation awarded over 750 education grants to single, head-of-household mothers at participating colleges to offset the cost of college textbooks. The grant program ended when changes in financial aid regulations increased assistance packages for most LRAF target recipients and they were no longer eligible for grants.
Since then, the LRAF has partnered with social service agencies and financial aid officers to provide grants for college textbooks, tuition and GED Tests on an individual basis.
The Lauren Rose Albert Foundation Endowed Scholarships at Rutgers University-Camden School of Nursing and Rowan University-Virtua Rita & Larry Salva School of Nursing and Health Professions established in 2024 continues the Foundation’s Mission to encourage women to achieve educationally and economically.
Our scholarships honor the life of Lauren Rose Albert; ensuring that Lauren’s Legacy of compassion and advocacy for those in need, and her unwavering strength of character will endure for generations to come.
The inaugural Lauren Rose Albert Foundation scholarships were awarded to one recipient from each Nursing School in September 2024. Our goal is to keep growing the endowment funds and increasing the number of scholarship recipients every year.
