Ernest Brown Skinner Fund for Graduate Students

The Ernest Brown Skinner Fund was established June 30, 1998 in memory of Ernest Brown Skinner, Professor of Mathematics 1893-1935, with a bequest of Ernest Brown Skinner’s daughter, and a gift from Merrill Edward Skinner. Merrill Skinner received a BA in Chemistry in 1914 and BS in Electrical Engineering in 1915 from the University of Wisconsin. The fund is used to support both undergraduate and graduate student travel to conferences and workshops related to the student’s interests which will help advance their knowledge and academic careers.
