Ivy Tech Community & Technical College — Sellersburg Campus
Family Scholar House has a long history of serving residents of Southern Indiana and collaborating with Ivy Tech Community College. Currently, FSH services are offered on Ivy Tech’s Sellersburg campus, and we will soon be opening a residential campus that will house 36 student parents. Stay tuned for more updates.
Last month, Cathe Dykstra hosted several Sisters of St. Benedict for a tour of the MMY US manufacturing facility in Louisville where the modular apartments that will make up the new Family Scholar House campus at Ivy Tech in Sellersburg are being made.
As our tour guide, MMY CEO Robin Bartram-Brown, explained, these modular units will be assembled into two apartment buildings on the campus to house 36 participants pursuing a college degree (each apartment consists of two modular units).
Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room, two bedrooms, two baths and a small laundry room, with washers and dryers donated by GE Appliances, a haier company.
Because the Sisters were instrumental in helping this Family Scholar House get done in a single phase instead of two, it will be named the Benedictine Scholar House, building on the Sisters’ legacy in education extending back over more than a century and a half. Watch for future updates! ... See MoreSee Less

Today is the 151st running of the famed Kentucky Derby, the most exciting two minutes in sports. But racing in the famed event takes more than just a fast thoroughbred. It takes discipline, training, awareness of strengths and weaknesses, recognition of the environment around them, and a lot of support from a passionate team.
Those are the same ingredients that help propel the success of each Family Scholar House participant, as they push themselves to be not only the best students they can be, but the best parents, the best community members and the best people. It’s a long track with more than a few turns, but there’s no thrill like watching someone navigate it with energy and focus and race across that finish line. ... See MoreSee Less
