Stories That Define Us
These books were born out of the desire to make our participants’ stories available to you, our readers, and offer insight into their lives. I believe you will find that we are all much more alike than we realize in what we want for ourselves and the hopes we have for our children and our community. I know that I have learned far more from our participants than they could ever learn from me. They are heroes of mine not because of what they have accomplished, which is very impressive, but because of what they have overcome and because of their resilience and persistence in the face of challenges that seemed insurmountable. They are remarkable not only because they have faced difficulties and had the hope and grit to work through them, but also because they are willing to share their stories in the hope that their experiences will inform and inspire others. To a person, I am proud of them for offering their stories to you.

Hear from some of our families:
FSH graduate Maria and current participant Dania discuss the impact Family Scholar House has made on their families lives.
Hope, an Elizabethtown Community & Technical College student shares her experience with Family Scholar House.
On Friday, November 8, Family Scholar House Chief Possibility Officer, President and CEO Cathe Dykstra, along with 3rd District Congressman Morgan McGarvey and his Senior Advisor, Joni Jenkins, were given a tour by CEO Robin Bertram-Brown of the MMY US factory in Louisville where the Multiplex modular apartments are being manufactured that will make up the new Benedictine Scholar House on the Ivy Tech Community College campus in Sellersburg, Indiana.
Combining the efficiency of manufactured housing with the quality and scalability of traditional construction, the Multiplex is faster, more accurate and more sustainable, requires 70% fewer site workers, offers better, safer working conditions, employs methods and materials that ensure units remain free from mold, and more. The last images here show two finished units outside the factory, as well as the interior of a finished, assembled and furnished unit.
