The Southern Scholarship Foundation (SSF) is a non-profit organization that provides affordable housing and scholarships to students who demonstrate academic merit, financial need, and good character. SSF was founded in 1955 and has since helped thousands of students attend college without incurring large amounts of debt.
SSF operates 27 scholarship houses in Florida and Georgia, where students from different universities share a common living space and expenses. The houses are located near participating universities and are managed by resident assistants, who are also scholarship recipients.
Once accepted, students receive a scholarship that covers their housing costs, including utilities, internet, and cleaning services. They are also required to participate in house activities and maintain academic and behavioral standards.
