"This scholarship has been a huge blessing as I enter my forth year at GVSU and my forth year at the rec! As much as this helps me financially, I am just as thankful for the friendships and community I have formed over the years. Your generosity is an example of the giving and hard working spirt of this campus and this school. Thank you!" - Sam Beagle, 2021-2022

"This scholarship has lightened my financial burden, which allows me to focus on learning, and RecWell has helped me feel more connected with the campus as a whole. Your generosity has inspired me to help others and give back to the community." - Caitlyn Flaherty, 2020-2021

"Being active has always been a huge part of my life, and campus Rec is a great way to escape from the class stress, while embracing and investing my time in the university that I attend and love!" - Kaylee Owczarski, 2019-2020

"Club Softball was one of the main reasons I attended GVSU. I am proud to have been a member as our team has grown and become well known nationally. Without Campus Rec, my experience would have been completely different." - Rachel Chase, 2017-2018
