The second house located on the campus of the University of Central Florida in Orlando, is home to 14 students and one resident advisor. It was dedicated in 1986 at a cost of $235,000.

This 10-year note was paid in full in just fours years…a full six years ahead of schedule.

Shannon Schultz, 2004 graduate, is living her dream as an Event Coordinator for the Central Florida Sports Commission. What impressed her the most about living in one of the scholarship houses?
"Friendships were made regardless of age differences, cultural diversity or religious beliefs. A strong memory in my mind was when my grandmother passed away back home while I was away at school. Everyone in the house was there by my side offering their comfort and support. That was a very rough time for me, but the girls helped me through it.”

	What are the responsibilities of the Residents of the Scholarship Houses?
	The Scholarship Houses are cooperative living environments that provide campus living for women who meet both the financial and academic requirements. The cooperative living environment means the residents learn skills necessary to run the houses effectively and efficiently. Once selected to live in the house, they elect officers for the semester who are responsible for ensuring that the bylaws of the house are followed. There are weekly meetings of the officers and residents  who are responsible for all house operations, including finances, cleaning, purchasing and preparing food.
