African Diaspora Empowerment Fund


“[the] gift of a university education is the ability to make a difference – a positive and enduring difference. Knowledge enables you to make the right choices and the best decisions.”

--Senator Donald Oliver, Committee Chair


We have a new name! The African Diaspora Scholarship Endowment Fund is now The African Diaspora Empowerment Fund to emphasize its ultimate purpose.

Our Cause

The University of Windsor is embarking on a campaign to encourage and attract students of African descent to pursue a university education and to attend our institution. As a student-focused university with a passion for social justice, it is our goal to establish an endowment that will provide scholarships for students from the African Diaspora. This endowment will help alleviate the financial obstacles, faced by many in this community, to obtaining a university education.

Your gift will assist us in establishing an endowed scholarship. This will assist in eliminating one of the barriers many youths face as they aspire to earn a university education. All of our communities will be better served as a result of this investment.
