Scholar House
About Us
Marion Scholar House opened in 2024, thanks to a collaborative effort with the Marion Housing Authority and the Grant County community. This campus provides two and three-bedroom residential units in a designated neighborhood, offering a unique environment where Scholars can focus on education and long-term success.
​
Marion Scholar House provides Scholars with family advocacy, academic coaching, and life skills training for degree or certification completion.
​
Whether you need community-based support or affordable housing as a single-parent student? We're here to help.

We collaborate with local colleges and universities to ensure Scholars have access to high-quality education and career pathways, including but not limited to:
A Program Without Walls
Scholar House meets you where you are
We offer flexible support tailored to your needs, whether that means meeting in person (at home or in the office) or connecting virtually.
If you’re a parent pursuing post-secondary education, you’re eligible to engage with Scholar House programming, no matter where you are on your educational journey.
​
Parents come to us at different stages: some are completing high school and planning for college, while others are already enrolled in degree or certificate programs. Our services are designed to adapt to each Scholar’s goals, circumstances, and motivations.
Every Scholar begins by partnering with a Family Advocate to build stability and set personal goals. As they progress, they receive one-on-one academic support from an Academic Coach. Scholar Families also attend monthly workshops that include meals and enriching educational activities for both parents and children.
​
Single parents pursuing full-time education may qualify for our residential program, which offers safe, affordable housing through degree completion. Residential Scholars commit to regular meetings with their Family Advocate and Academic Coach, and participate in monthly workshops as part of their holistic support.
