Anderson Scholar House opened in January 2022, as an affiliate of Family Scholar House in Louisville, Kentucky. Family Scholar House was born from Project Women, an organization originally established in 1995 by representatives of six orders of nuns. What began with only four families is now a recognized national best practice headquartered in Louisville, KY, serving more than 30,000 people annually and focused on education as a primary path for ending the cycle of inherited poverty.

​

Anderson Scholar House provides stable housing, coordinated childcare, help with school admissions and financial aid applications, and provides a life coach and an academic coach throughout the entirety of the program. Programs and services are delivered through a two-generation model responsive to the needs of families and are provided for all ages. Our outcomes speak for themselves. Participants have an 88% completion rate. Three months after leaving the program, 70% of participants no longer require any government assistance. This is especially impactful considering all our families had experienced poverty, unstable housing and, most often, domestic violence. 

Any single mother who has their high school diploma or GED, who is interested in completing a post-secondary education program, and who is in need of housing.
