The Southern Scholarship Foundation and FGCU teamed up 20 years ago to build three houses that would be free for students to live in while in attendance.
The program has dozens of houses across Florida , in Tallahassee , Gainesville and Fort Myers .
On average, students at the scholarship houses pay just $700 a semester, but not in rent.
Vanessa Aguilar is a first -generation college student and plans to graduate in May , debt-free.
Southern Scholarship Housing is funded by private donors and an endowment of $ 900,000 .
The houses welcome students of all genders, as well as transgender or nonbinary students.
Students cook together four days a week, clean up together, budget and plan for future expenses.
FGCU 's houses will be mixed-gender as they build out the number of people in the house.
