Family Scholar House, formerly known as Project Women, is
changing lives, families, and communities through education.Our organization aims to end the cycle of poverty by giving single-parent students the support they need to achieve a four-year college degree.
As an organization Family Scholar House recognizes the challenges that single-parent students face in trying to provide housing, childcare, and basic necessities for their children without adequate income or the education necessary to obtain career-track employment. In Louisville, hundreds of single-parents are trying to survive. Since incorporating in 1995, our not-for-profit organization has helped hundreds of families in the Louisville and Southern Indiana region by providing housing and educational support.
Recently, Family Scholar House took residence at Louisville Scholar House a 56-apartment campus located at Fifth and Bloom Streets in Louisville, Kentucky. This campus provides our participants and their children the housing and childcare support they need to help support them in their quest for a better life. As part of the campus’s key offerings, UofL’s College of Education and Human Development will operate the Early Learning Campus, which offers care and early learning children between the ages of 6 weeks and 4-years old.
