President Haas visits students at Harrison Park Elementary School, a
school participating in the Challenge Scholars program.
GVSU recognized for support of Challenge Scholars
May 7, 2014
President Thomas J. Haas joined area college presidents at an event
May 6 to celebrate Grand Rapids Community Foundation’s Challenge
Scholars program.Â
Grand Valley has been a partner of the program since it launched
two years ago. It provides students academic and college readiness
support from sixth grade through high school and college scholarship
opportunities. Last fall, the university created
a new scholarship for GRPS students in the program, offering
them the opportunity to attend and succeed in college.
The event took place at the Ford Fieldhouse at Grand Rapids
Community College. Challenge Scholars students and their families,
teachers, community donors and supporters were recognized. Presidents
from Aquinas College, GRCC and Ferris State University were in attendance.
