Tioga, Bradford & Potter Counties, PA – Laurel Health provides grant-funded sponsorship opportunities annually for students accepted to Penn College’s dental hygienist or licensed practical nurse (LPN) programs. The 2024 round of applications is now open, and this year, there will be a special focus on supporting students pursuing a nursing program.  

The Laurel Health Centers have worked diligently to support educational and staffing opportunities throughout northcentral Pennsylvania. The goal of this sponsorship is to support the training of new clinical staff interested in pursuing careers in dental or family medicine.

Preference will be given to candidates who live in Tioga, Bradford, or Potter Counties. Laurel Health will provide up to $12,500 in assistance per person to qualified candidates as well as guaranteed job placement at a Laurel Health clinic for two years after graduation. Following fulfillment of the two-year service commitment, there will be an option to transition into permanent employment with Laurel Health.

The Penn College programs offer small class sizes, access to state-of-the-art equipment, and innovative programming that primes students for success. Grant funding for this sponsorship was supported by the Laurel Health Foundation.
