Dorrin and Ruth Ross Scholarship

The Dorrin and Ruth Ross Scholarship was established by Dorrin and Ruth Ross, natives of Licking County, Ohio. This scholarship reflects Mrs. Ross's interest in supporting educational opportunities for rural students, inspired by the loss of her family's farm during the Depression after her graduation from college. The scholarship is available to graduates or graduating high school seniors from specific high schools in Washington County, Kentucky and Fairfield County, Ohio, as well as past or present members of 4-H or FFA programs in these counties. Candidates must attend or plan to attend an educational institution in the United States. The scholarship provides a minimum award of $500 to help rural students pursue higher education opportunities.
