A transformative new endowment from the Samit & Reshma Sharma Foundation is set to strengthen graduate research at the University of Windsor.

The $300,003 gift establishes three endowed graduate scholarships that will support outstanding thesis-based students in areas where the institution demonstrates national leadership: automotive engineering, Great Lakes ecology and sports and health kinetics.
