Anita and Edward Bikowitz
Anita and Edward Bikowitz established the Grand Day at a Time Scholarship to make education more accessible to students with little or no means to pursue a four year degree. Anita did not have the means to attend college and did not qualify for any financial assistance to pursue a college degree, and through her work in annual giving at Grand Valley she learned how all gifts large and small can make a difference in the lives of students.
Impact
“I am honored to receive this scholarship, and this money will aid me immensely in my endeavors. With working 3 jobs, babysitting, and an internship, I am overwhelmed. But this puts an ease on being able to afford tuition, and will give me more focus on my studies. Thank you.” -Ashley, GVSU Junior
