Student Support Services

Gifts to the Laker Family Fund help accommodate more students in support services such as tutoring, counseling, and advising. All tutoring services are free and help enhance the learning experience. Services available to students can be found at: the Student Academic Success Center, Structured Learning Assistance, Mathematics Tutoring Center, Statistics Tutoring Center, Science Success Center, and the Frederik Meijer Writing Center.

Internships & Career Services

The Grand Valley Career Center offers a number of services including career planning, major exploration, internship opportunities, and career fairs to assist students as they transition into their careers. Gifts to the Laker Family Fund also help support these services and outreach to organizations that can provide Grand Valley students with internships and other hands-on educational opportunities.

Every gift counts, whatever the amount! Just by making an annual gift to the Laker Family Fund you show your commitment to and support of our university and its students. You can give online or by calling (616) 331-6000.

Is my gift tax-deductible?
Gifts to the Laker Family Fund are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by the law in the donor’s state of residence.
