About

GVSU offers a variety of programs and resources to enhance the student experience. Support academic, personal, and professional resources to enable more GVSU students to achieve their goals.

Not sure where to give? Explore some of our Student Resource funds:

  • 💙 Dean of Students Emergency Fund: Helps students facing unexpected hardships who need financial support after they have exhausted all other financial aid resources.
  • 🎓 Enable more students to come to GVSU and graduate with a gift to scholarships like the GVSU Access fund, our greatest need scholarship.
  • ⚓️ Support the Counseling Center Fund to enhance the well-being of our GVSU community through mental health services, including prevention, education, and counseling.
  • 🥫The Replenish Student Food Resource Fund supports the work of GVSU’s Replenish Basic Needs Center, which provides free food, hunger education, and other resources to the campus community.

Make your gift go even further with matches and challenges:

  • $1,000 will unlock for the Dean of Students Emergency Fund when the full Division of Student Affairs Leadership Team gives to any fund, thanks to a gift from Vice President of Student Affairs Jenny Hall-Jones and Scott Hall-Jones.
  • Vice President of Student Affairs Jenny Hall-Jones and Scott Hall-Jones will match $1 for each $1 given to any fund by members of the Division of Student Affairs, up to $1,000.
  • Aaron Mowen, Director of Recreation & Wellness, will match $1 for every $1 given to the GVSU Ravine Trails Gifts fund, up to $1,500.
