The FGCE is honored to have impacted the lives of thousands of students over the years with scholarship funds. In this blog series we highlight feedback from our current and past recipients, showcasing the impact our financial and organizational support has had and how it impacts their lives.
As I move into my senior year at Ferris State University, I would like to once again thank you for your continued support through PGSF. I am honored to have received the Gilbert & Jean Bassett Memorial Scholarship throughout my college journey, and it has allowed me to achieve my degree with financial security.
As always, I am proud to be a part of the printing industry, and I am thankful to you and to PGSF for supporting me in my career. I look forward to graduating and making a positive impact on my program and my field.

On behalf of the Ferris State University Graphic Media Management program, I want to extend my sincere appreciation for awarding our students the travel grant to attend Printing United this year. As I complete the required documentation and submit our receipts, I did not want to miss the opportunity to express my gratitude for your support.
With Thanksgiving approaching, I’m reminded of how thankful I am for organizations like PGSF - organizations that continually invest in students, open doors for them, and help shape the next generation of print and media professionals.
The impact of this opportunity is real. In the classroom, we teach only a fraction of what this industry includes. When students walk into Printing United, their eyes light up. They see the scale, the innovation, the energy, and suddenly everything we talk about in class comes alive. Many of them said they had no idea how vast the print and graphics industry truly is. Experiences like this ignite their passion, expand their career vision, and reinforce that they are entering a field full of opportunity. Thank you again for your commitment to advancing education in graphic communications and for believing in the potential of our students.

I have made many friends and learned a lot, and I cannot wait to learn more. I would not be able to do any of this without this scholarship. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support of my advanced degree. It was a great fall. Thank you for the support! I look forward to another great semester.
