We’re so proud of Natasha, who graduated this year from Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and has already secured a job, all while raising two beautiful children. In this video she not only talks about her path to success, the ways in which Family Scholar House was able to support her, and the importance of having the courage to ask for help.

Children’s Awareness Month is observed annually in June, dedicated to nurturing the joys of childhood, uplifting early education, and advocating for child health, safety, and well-being. It serves as a time to empower youth and protect children from systemic threats like neglect and exploitation. While we spend a great deal of time talking about the adult participants we serve, focusing on and supporting the children of our student parents is a huge part of our mission as well. And the great gift that each of our parent participants is giving their children is to see how hard work, perseverance — and a willingness to ask for help when you need it — can lead to success and self-sufficiency. We’re so proud of them.

If it’s true that the best things in life are worth waiting for, then our much-delayed residential campus, the Benedictine Scholar House adjacent to the Ivy Tech Community College Sellersburg campus, is going to be truly amazing. Soon, dozens of our resident families who have been waiting patiently for construction to be wrapped up will call this campus home. When they do, they’ll be settling into cozy, comfortable modular apartments manufactured in Louisville by MMY US, then transported and installed onsite in Sellersburg — our first Indiana Family Scholar House! A very special thanks to the Sisters of St. Benedict in Ferdinand for their partnership on this project.

Tomorrow is National Higher Education Day, created to encourage students, educators and families to tackle some of the issues of higher education head-on. By helping students find financial resources, addressing their educational goals, and focusing on their total health and well-being, the goal is that students can look forward to a successful higher education experience.

At Family Scholar House we celebrate higher education every day. We think about windows and doors. We work to open a window on the world for each of our student participants, so that they can see what is possible, then open a door to access that world through higher education and support services that can help ensure student success. By supporting the whole family and not just the student, we are transforming the communities we serve and building self-sufficiency into the next generation.

The Trager Response Center was created by Family Scholar House to supplement assistance already being provided by colleges, employers, and communities and to be a resource for apprentices, entry-level employees, students, and their families. Support offerings are tailored to the specific project and target population. Here’s Missy Young, Regional Support Specialist for Family Scholar House on the Elizabethtown Community & Technical College campus, to tell you more.

Last Thursday, Duke Energy volunteers put together “Welcome Home” baskets and wrote encouraging notes for 36 families who will be moving into the new Family Scholar House on the Ivy Tech Sellersburg campus.

The baskets included cleaning supplies, kitchen basics, children’s activities information on how to save money and energy and financial assistance for customers. A $10,000 Duke Energy Foundation grant supported the welcome baskets and other assistance for families, including food, school essentials, academic coaching and success planning.

“Moving into a new home marks the beginning of an exciting journey, filled with hope, stability, and opportunity,” said Lisa Huber, government and community relations manager for Duke Energy. “These baskets provide not just essentials for families, but also a feeling of community as they begin their next adventure.”

“We appreciate the Duke Energy Foundation support that will help scholars overcome obstacles and stay on track toward pursuing a degree and graduation,” said Deja B. Jackson, director of Community Engagement for Family Scholar House. “Our wrap around services have shown strong results in our graduation rates and contribute to the overall health, mental wellness and well-being of the entire family.”
