G I VI NG MAT T E RS Giving with class Generations of students will be the beneficiaries of two new scholarships established on behalf of Grand Valley's Pioneer Class (Class of '67) and the Class of '68. Alumni united from both of these classes to start scholarships in the past year. The Pioneer Class Scholarship has been fully endowed, which means it will be available to students in perpetuity. The Class of '68 scholarship, started with a generous matching gift opportunity in December, is well on its way to becoming endowed. As the funds continue to grow, more students will receive larger scholarships. To support either of these scholarships or begin one to honor your class, visit www.gvsu.edu/giving/scholarships. More opportunities for international business students More than 20 businesses from West Michigan gathered to show their support for the Seidman College of Business Study Abroad Scholarship. International experiences are critical both for students and local employers who are looking for fresh, young talent with a global perspective. More than $78,000 was raised by this group, demonstrating support for increasing multicultural, international experiences for Grand Valley students. To support this scholarship visit www.gvsu.edu/giving/give and enter "SCB Study Abroad Scholarship."

Students support each other Grand Valley students demonstrated that they are Lakers for a Lifetime and gave a record amount of gifts this year as they supported the Student Legacy Scholarship. Responding to a challenge from President Thomas J. Haas, many students increased their giving this year and helped take a Laker tradition to a new level. All gifts made to this fund are designated to help future Lakers. To learn more or support the Student Legacy Scholarship visit www.gvsu.edu/giving/thaaschallenge. Community leaders unite The Community Leadership Scholarship celebrated its 10th year with a gift match and encouragement by Community Leadership Committee members. The scholarship is awarded to students who have demonstrated leadership in West Michigan and intend to contribute their skills to benefit West Michigan. More than $70,000 was raised, including presidential match money, increasing the fund by 50 percent and expanding the number of students who will receive scholarships in the coming years.
