The student pilot said he landed about 1/4 the way down the runway. As the airplane approached the departure end of the runway the pilot said he applied the airplane's brakes. According to the pilot, the airplane's right tire skidded and caused the airplane to yaw to its right. He said he released the brakes and attempted to straighten out the airplane. During the process the airplane rolled onto the clearway at the departure end of the runway, colliding with the runway end identifier light assembly.
