The site houses 42 two-bedroom and 6 three-bedroom apartments and a high-quality child development center, Early Scholars Child Development Center on the same campus.

While single parents are enrolled in Northern Kentucky Scholar House and attending school, supports are offered in:

Housing, where Section 8 subsidy will keep housing costs low for 48 apartments
Educational and economic support program, where parents are connected with other existing economic supports, such as child care assistance, food stamps, work-study programs, financial aid, and provided life skills consisting of on-site workshops and activities that support parents in their roles as students, parents, heads of household, and future employees
On-site Child Care, where children from 6 weeks to school age receive care in an enriching environment (licensed and 5 STAR rated Center) while the parent is in school

Vision: Northern Kentucky Scholar House provides the support necessary for single parents to earn post-secondary education and achieve gainful employment leading to long-term self-sufficiency, and at the same time their children receive quality child care to help them succeed in school and in life
