Our Priorities

  • The Recreation & Wellness Program Fund provides financial support for GVSU students to access our programs.
  • The Recreation Leadership Scholarship recognizes and rewards student leaders involved in recreation & wellness experiences. 
  • Our club sports, Esports and spirit programs are dues based; any support given directly to one of our team goes directly towards lowering operational costs for that team.

To give, select the fund you want to support on the Giving to Grand Valley site. Thank you for your support!
