Two scholarship houses were erected in the fall of 2006. Bethune-Cookman University opened the Eugene Zimmerman Scholarship House for males and the Alexis Pugh Scholarship House for the females. The two houses were sponsored by two donors of the Board of Trustees. With the ever growing university’s population the two scholarship houses, which can both accommodate up to 18 students were welcomed additions to the university’s housing sector. Residents must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher. In addition, residents are required to work together to establish a budget, plan and shop for meals, cook, clean and study together.
