Executive Summary

To reduce the financial burden of college, Southern Scholarship Foundation offers one simple and unique solution: rent-free housing and cooperative living.

Through cooperative living, all residents embody Southern Scholarship Foundation values of:

COMMUNITY

  • Active engagement with others empowers scholars, staff, donors, alumni, and supporters to  transcend individual interests in the collective effort of pursuing Southern Scholarship Foundation’s mission.

LEADERSHIP

  • Leadership is a process, not a position, in which a leader is any SSF-connected person who guides others in a purposeful, collective effort to make a difference executing Southern Scholarship Foundation’s mission.

EDUCATION

  • Through the living and learning community SSF creates opportunities for scholars to grow in awareness of their personal interests, beliefs, values, attitudes, and emotions.

RESPECT

  • SSF embraces inclusion in people, thought and culture: differences in perspectives and experiences provide opportunities to achieve a broader understanding of ourselves and engagement with the world’s complexities.

CONNECTIVITY 

  • Through committed participation and engagement, alumni, scholars, staff, and supporters become bonded to the SSF community to ensure its continuity and evolution.
