The
Incredible Skinner Challenge: An Investment in our Future
The
American Fisheries Society and fisheries students seek your help in
bolstering our AFS John E. Skinner Memorial Fund. The Skinner
Award provides travel support for undergraduate and graduate students
to attend the annual AFS parent society meeting. The Fund and
Award are administered by the Education Section, but it is an AFS
society award. In recent years, we have been granting awards
to 8-10 outstanding students (up to $800), depending on the yield from
the endowment fund. The Skinner is among the most
prestigious, popular, and competitive student awards.
The
Education Section recently passed a motion to augment the Skinner
Endowment by $25,000 with Section Funds. We further voted to
initiate a matching cost-challenge to all other AFS units to further
enhance the fund.
*The Education Section will match all contributions
to the Skinner Fund up to a total of $25,000!
