Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth LLC (FBP), the company performing extensive environmental cleanup work at the U.S. Department of Energy’s former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Pike County, recently awarded college scholarships to Ross County graduates  Rilee Davis (Unioto High School) and Tye Hinshaw (Huntington High School). 

“We wish these graduates the best of success in their future educational and career pursuits,” said J.D. Dowell, FBP Site Project Director. “It is exciting to hear about their plans and we are very proud to be part of the success for our Ross County STEAM scholarship award recipients!”

The FBP STEAM scholarships, valued at $2,000 each, are specifically for local graduates pursuing college majors in a STEAM career (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math).  Since 2011, FBP has given out $242,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors in Jackson, Pike, Ross and Scioto counties.  Twelve winners are chosen each spring and this year, more than 80 applications were submitted.
