By funding a student you will help provide talented yet vulnerable young men and women with the first family-like setting that many of them have known in their lives. 7-8 students share each house; they have overcome unimaginable obstacles in their lives, and the support they provide each other with in their homes is invaluable. The students have ambitious goals for their careers, and study a variety of fields, including medicine, law, and computer science. Whenever they get together at their houses, it feels more like a family gathering than a meeting of classmates. This important social support system helps new students during a profound adjustment period as they acquire life skills and begin their college careers—and it provides them with stability and a strong community for the duration of their studies.
