An FSH Participant Story. “Someone forgot to tell me how amazing it feels to accomplish a college degree. Wow! I DID IT!” These are the opening words to an email from an FSH participant to FSH staff following her college graduation this past December. Barbara’s email goes on to speak beautifully of the values and mission of Family Scholar House: community.
When student parents rise, we all rise. So proud to be among the winners of the national Rise Prize, an initiative led by Imaginable Futures and Lumina Foundation! Accelerating postsecondary success for parenting students helps not just them, but also supports the economic mobility and well-being of their families.
The email came to our Chief Possibility Officer’s inbox one Thursday evening, from a Family Scholar House supporter. The supporter wanted to express her pleasure at a call she received from a Family Scholar House participant during this year’s Thank-A-Thon.
FSH was More Than an Apartment, More Than Educational Support, it is Community…it is Family

Our Celebration of Education Gala last week was a night to remember. As our extended FSH family joined together to support our mission and our families. We had several FSH graduates in attendance and Keneysha (FSH c/o 2012) addressed the audience as she reflected back on her time at FSH and reflected on now being able to give back to current FSH families.
One week ago, we celebrated the grand opening of our Frank & Paula Harshaw Riverport Campus at Riverport Landings. Kalyn, FSH participant spoke about her experience at FSH, you can read here.
Ten years ago, our organization took a big leap of faith. On August 19-20, 2008, we opened our first campus, moving 32 residents in at Louisville Scholar House. This was Family Scholar House’s first foray into providing the affordable housing critically important to stabilizing families so that single parents could focus on their education and career preparation while also providing for their children.
