At the Faculty of Education, we believe great teaching transforms lives. Our four interconnected priorities, Scholarship Support, Experiential Learning, Indigenization and EDID, and Classroom Modernization, together shape a holistic, inclusive, and forward-looking vision for education.
Your generosity helps us prepare compassionate, skilled educators who will make a difference in classrooms, communities, and around the world.
Faculty of Education Fund
The Faculty of Education Fund provides flexible, unrestricted support for the Faculty’s highest priorities at the University of Windsor. Directed by the Dean, the Fund enhances student learning, supports innovative teaching and research, and responds to emerging opportunities that advance excellence in education.
Scholarship Support
Empowering future educators through opportunity. Talent and passion, not financial circumstance, should determine who becomes a teacher. Your support helps students in our B.Ed., M.Ed., and Ph.D. programs focus on their studies and leadership development.
You can also create a scholarship in honour of a teacher or mentor who inspired you, celebrating their legacy while opening doors for the next generation of educators.
Experiential Learning
The best teachers see the world through many lenses. Our experiential learning programs connect classroom theory with real-world experience, from community projects and newcomer student support to global placements in Jamaica, Tanzania, and China. Your gift offers opportunities for many programs such as Teach Tanzania - an international service-learning (ISL) programs, and Leadership Experience for Academic Direction (LEAD) - a program fostering student success and resilience for K–12 learners.
Support Teach Tanzania, LEAD program, and other experiential learning initiatives; you will help develop future educators through empathy, leadership, and global citizenship !
Indigenization and EDID
Building inclusive and culturally responsive education. We are committed to advancing reconciliation and inclusion by weaving Indigenous knowledge and diverse worldviews throughout our programs.
Your support helps us welcome Elders and Knowledge Keepers, grow community-led learning, and strengthen initiatives that create culturally safe, inclusive learning environments.
Classroom and Building Modernization Fund
Support the University of Windsor Classroom and Building Modernization Fund by making a gift to the general fund to enhance learning and workspaces across the Faculty of Education. Donors interested in naming a room or space are invited to contact Senior Development Officer Mike Flanagan at 226-348-2520 or mike.flanagan@uwindsor.ca to discuss opportunities.
Planned Giving: Leave a Legacy That Shapes the Future
As an educator or supporter, you know the lifelong impact of teaching. A planned gift allows you to extend that legacy, empowering future teachers and transforming education for generations to come.
Whether through a bequest, gift of life insurance, or donation of securities, your generosity can remove financial barriers, advance Indigenous knowledge, fund global experiences, modernize classrooms, and support new priorities. Your Legacy. Their Future.
Every Gift Tells a Story
When you support the Faculty of Education, you do more than donate, you invest in people. You invest in teachers who will shape minds, uplift communities, and inspire futures.
Each gift, no matter the size, helps us create opportunities for learning, discovery, and connection. Together, we build a world where education is equitable, inclusive, and transformative.
Let your story inspire the next generation of educators, those who will lead with compassion, creativity, and purpose. When you invest in teachers, you invest in every future they will touch
