As a graduate of the University of Windsor, Melanie Harrison had just completed her first year of teaching at two Windsor area schools in 2006.  In order to honour her memory, her passion for teaching and her desire to make a difference, the Melanie Jane Harrison Memorial Award for Aspiring Teachers was established at the University of Windsor.  This scholarship assists hard working students to achieve their goals in the field of teaching.  To date, the scholarship has been awarded to six (6) deserving recipients.  Proceeds from the Melanie Harrison Winery Tour are used to fund the annual U of W scholarship and to support local charitable needs.

This year their goal is to support programs that help the youth of our communities by promoting mental health and wellness.  They are supporting the new Family Learning Place through the WE Care for Kids Foundation in Windsor as well as continuing support of the annual Scholarship Award at the University of Windsor.
