Dr. Ronald Bordessa Endowed Scholarship Fund

Dr. Bordessa’s contributions as Ontario Tech University president from July 2006 to June 2011 are numerous. Dr. Bordessa ensured Ontario Tech University remained a catalyst in driving social and economic prosperity throughout Durham Region and beyond. The relocation of the faculties of Education and Social Science and Humanities to downtown Oshawa, and the establishment of the General Motors of Canada Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE) and the Energy Systems and Nuclear Science Research Centre, are just a few milestones that will mark his Ontario Tech legacy.

An endowed scholarship fund now exists as a tribute to Dr. Bordessa and his commitment to students. The Dr. Ronald Bordessa Scholarship is presented annually to a student who achieves a minimum 3.5 GPA in the third or fourth year of their undergraduate program. The recipient is a successful Ontario Tech ambassador as they contribute to the social and/or economic prosperity of our community by adding value through discovery research, inventions, innovations and/or the commercialization of processes and products.
