Family Scholar House may be able to assist financially with basic needs and educational or apprenticeship needs. From a gas card to help with housing costs, our services have made all the difference for some students. And if you're hungry, we can help, whether you need one of our popular snack bags to get through the day or full meals from our food pantry. We also host regular pop-up food giveaways and maintain a free clothing closet on campus.
Housing for Student Parents
Family Scholar House is now accepting applications for its housing program on ECTC's campus. New two- and three-bedroom units will be available for 48 families. The first group of apartments are expected to be move-in ready in late August. The cost is $350 per month with utilities included. The deposit is $250.
This is more than housing. This is a life-changing opportunity that combines affordable housing with coaching, support services and resources designed to help student parents earn degrees, achieve financial stability and build brighter futures for their families.
