Message from the President
Our Annual Fund is an integral part of the University’s fundraising efforts critical in helping us realize our vision and goals. Alumni, friends, faculty members and staff contribute regularly to the Annual Fund for many reasons. For example
- because of financial assistance they once received,
- because of a mentor who guided them, or
- because of research being conducted on a field of interest which has touched their lives.
Many donors designate their support towards the University’s most pressing needs. These include support for our financial aid and awards program, infrastructure and equipment or cutting-edge research. In the end, regardless of the reasons, gift level or motivations, the Annual Fund allows everyone the opportunity to participate in the continuing development of their University.

"I would like to sincerely thank you for contributing to the advancement of my education by providing me with this scholarship… it gets harder to see the ‘end of the tunnel’ when your energies are focused on finding monies rather than personal advancement and actualization. When I become an alumni of University of Ottawa, I hope to be able to contribute to the advancement of other students as well."
