Balancing military service with post-secondary education means navigating two demanding worlds — the right support can make all the difference, says Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member Caitlin Roberts. 

The University of Windsor has received a $55,000 grant from the Ontario Council on Articulation and Transfer (ONCAT) to better support military-connected students like Roberts. 

Get moving to support Canadian veterans

Royal Canadian Navy members and students observe a moment of remembrance during a campus serviceCanadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and Serving Scholars students take part in a Remembrance Day service at the University of Windsor on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024.

The University of Windsor’s Serving Scholars team is rallying the campus community to get moving in support of ill and injured members and veterans of Canada’s military.

Throughout November, the team will take part in the Loaring Consistency Challenge in support of Soldier On — a Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) program that helps ill and injured members and veterans recover by connecting them with opportunities in sport, recreation and the arts.
