Note to Donors: The University of Windsor greatly appreciates the financial contributions of individuals, groups, and corporations who wish to support the creative and research enterprise of graduate study. Anyone who is interested in setting up a named award or trust fund to support scholarship or commemorate individuals or events is encouraged to contact the Dean of Graduate Studies and Research. Donors are often interested in directing their contribution to specific groups of students. It must be recognized that in accepting the administration of awards designated for specific groups, the University of Windsor is bound by provincial and federal human rights legislation not to deny eligibility to anyone on discriminatory grounds. The criteria of eligibility must therefore be expressed in accordance with these legislative principles. Ability to benefit is the primary criterion for the award of scholarships and may be measured by academic achievement or demonstrated potential of other kinds relevant to the particular award. Membership of a group that has been disadvantaged because of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or disability may also be a criterion of eligibility. It would be helpful if the donor could provide supporting evidence that a particular group is disadvantaged, so that such “positive discrimination” can be justified to Federal and Provincial authorities.
