Family Scholar House, Inc. is changing the lives, families, and communities through education.

Our mission is to end the cycle of poverty by giving single-parent students the support they need to earn a four-year college degree.

Subscribed to OUR STORIES MATTER? In medieval Gaelic and British culture, bards played the part of professional poet, charged with making the tales of any given kingdom known throughout the land. Bards sang the stories of the people, understanding that stories mattered, and that in them was identity, meaning and community. Our Stories Matter, the blog of Family Scholar House is, in its own modern and digital way, the bard of FSH. Here you’ll find the stories of our families being sung, in hopes that you, our readers, will then share them elsewhere. Often participants ask if their stories really matter when asked to describe their journey as parents and college students. Despite our reassurance, your support by simply subscribing is undeniable evidence that Our Stories Matter. We hope that you are challenged, motivated, inspired and encouraged by the men, women and children who matter at Family Scholar House.
