Summary

• The Brittingham Trust gave UW Graduate School of Business $100,000 to allow investment course students to experience "real world" investing. The top students in the program studied industries and securities to make investment decisions. Substantial gain in their investment funds were used for undergraduate scholarships based on need. Here, Wiscofund members, students who controlled half of the grant money, make investment decisions under scrutiny of former Commerce School deans.
