Empowering Student Success at Lincoln Grant Scholar House

At Gateway Community and Technical College (GCTC), we believe that education is the key to a brighter future and student success, and we are committed to making that future accessible to everyone. One shining example of our dedication to this mission is the Lincoln Grant Scholar House. This remarkable program, in collaboration with the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission (NKCAC), is transforming lives by providing a bridge to higher education, housing assistance, and essential student resources for single parents.
 
Breaking Barriers: Education and Housing in Harmony
 
At its core, the Lincoln Grant Scholar House is an innovative initiative that recognizes the intricate relationship between education and housing assistance. By addressing both of these fundamental needs simultaneously, we empower single parents to focus on their education program without the added burden of housing insecurity.
 
Here's how the program works:
 
Affordable Housing:
 
The Scholar House provides safe, affordable housing for single parents and their children, contributing to student success by eliminating one of the most significant barriers to pursuing higher education.
 
Access to Education:
 
Participants in the program have the opportunity to attend GCTC, where they can choose from a range of programs and receive support services tailored to their unique needs fostering an environment of student success.
 
Childcare Services:
 
Knowing that childcare is often a significant challenge for single parents, the Scholar House offers reliable and quality child care assistance, ensuring that parents can focus on their studies with peace of mind.
 
Life Skills and Career Development:
 
Student services such as workshops, training, mentorship programs, and initiatives aimed at promoting student success are provided to enhance essential life skills and prepare participants for successful careers after graduation.
 
Community and Support:
 
Participants become part of a supportive community resource focused on student success within the Scholar House, fostering a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and mutual support.
 
Success Stories: Illuminating the Path Forward
 
The impact of the Lincoln Grant Scholar House program can be measured not only in the number of degrees earned but also in the transformation of lives. Former participants have gone on to secure meaningful employment, provide stable homes for their families, and serve as inspirations to their children.
 
By breaking the cycle of poverty through education and housing assistance, this initiative is not just changing the lives of the immediate participants but is also creating a ripple effect of positive change and student success in our community.
