William G. Skotty Endowed Golf Scholarship

Donald and Anne Skotty, of Silver Mountain Land & Minerals LP, have established the William G. Skotty Endowed Golf Fund to support UCR Golf scholarships.

The Skotty Fund will provide a four-year scholarship for a member of either the men’s or women’s golf teams, and have alternating four-year cycles between the teams.

"This is an extraordinarily generous gift that will benefit student-athletes for years to come," UC Riverside Director of Athletics Stan Morrison said. "It will be a fitting tribute to Mr. Skotty, who was an avid golfer who embraced the value and benefits of higher education."

S kotty was a distinguished World War II veteran whose passion for golf was kindled with weekly miniature golf outings in Los Angeles. An avid “duffer” he was a long-time member of the Travelers Golf Association, playing local courses at least once a week. He attended Riverside Polytechnic High School, where he played baseball, then was active in community softball leagues. He was married to former UCR employee Patricia Skotty, who is an active member of the UC Riverside Retirees Association. He passed away at the age of 82 in January, 2006.
