Meet Ingrid. Single mom. Master's student. Community changemaker. And as of this weekend — Master of Urban Planning. 🎓

She didn't just finish. She finished on the Dean's List. She was chosen to deliver the welcome speech at commencement. Her professor is helping her pursue publication for her thesis. And she's already designing a community partnership curriculum to help local organizations better serve people in need.

Ingrid, the younger moms in our program are watching. You just showed them what's possible.

Honors Society isn't easy when you're parenting full-time. Andrea did both. And she's not slowing down she's already preparing for what's next.

Andrea, this is what focus looks like.

Meet Mandi, our very first residential scholar, has officially completed her Associate's Degree in Human Services! She is a part of the Anderson Scholar House fam and we're cheering her on from Marion. This fall, she's heading to Ball State University to study social work.

From day one, Mandi has shown what the Scholar House vision looks like in real life: a mom showing up for her education, her daughter, and her community all at once. Watching her walk across that stage is everything we do this for.

And she didn't do it alone. Mandi was surrounded by her Family Advocate, Sarah Badgley, Scholar House staff Jordan Hervey, fellow Scholar House moms Ashley and Sara, and Mandi's daughter!

Mandi, we are SO proud of you!

In 1988, my mom was a divorced mother of two with no degree and a $3,000 savings account. That money was supposed to be for my college... but she decided to spend it on herself instead.

It was the best gamble she ever made.

This Mother’s Day, I’m sharing the story of the woman who taught me what 'Heartland' really means. It’s a story of Shoney’s shifts, 12-hour nursing rotations, and the legacy that changed my life forever.

Help us support the next generation of moms who are working for their 'Full Circle' moment. Donate to our Mother’s Day Fundraiser here:

We are SO proud of Irene Rios, who is a apart of the Muncie Scholar House fam🎓

Mother. Scholar. Paralegal certificate in hand, and an associate's degree coming this fall.

At Ivy Tech's graduation ceremony, our Muncie Scholar House family got to cheer Irene on in person. Her academic coach Sarah Wenger and family advocate Michelle Heimlich were there, and Irene was so excited to see them that she grabbed her cousin for a photo with them before we even got one of her with her kids. That's Irene, always thinking of the people she loves.

From across the auditorium, we spotted her graduation cap. We snapped a picture and had an instant heart-melting moment.

Irene, we are so proud of you and are cheering you on in Marion 💛
