This year’s winners from Ross County are Allison Lutz of Chillicothe High School, Kendall Dye of Paint Valley High School, and Jessica Elick of Adena High School.

This year’s winners from Pike County are Julia Clark of Waverly High School and Reileigh Potts of Eastern High School.

“Each year more than 100 of the top students in our region apply for this scholarship, and each year the level of competition gets tougher,” said FBP President and CEO Greg Wilkett. “It is great to see so many high-achieving students in our area excited about preparing for a science career.”
