James Ellison Memorial Fund

James Ellison (1979 - 2002)

The James Ellison Memorial Scholarship was established by Sally and Carsten Ellison to honor the memory of their son James, who was a student in the Program of Mortuary Science. James was committed to a career in funeral service, with the goal of helping others during the most difficult times of their lives. James was conferred his degree in mortuary science posthumously in the Spring of 2002. A scholarship is to be awarded each year to a student enrolled in the Program of Mortuary Science at the University of Minnesota, who has demonstrated through their work, service, and academic related activities outstanding potential as a future funeral director and public servant.
