Locals Featured in Buckeye Alumni Magazine
Chillicothe, Ohio - June 1, 2015 – Ohio State students from Ross County are featured in
the current issue of the alumni magazine. Eleven scholarship recipients are pictured
with Dr. Bill Schuller, scholarship chairman for the OSU Alumni Club of Ross County.
The article in the May-June issue of the Ohio State Alumni magazine chronicles the 24
year history of scholarships awarded by Ross County alumni. In that time the group has
awarded 170 scholarships totaling over $100,000 from the Bob and Betty Jones
Scholarship fund. Sustaining members of the Ohio State University Alumni Association
can designate this fund when making an annual contribution. The fund number is
606194. A donation from the late Bob and Betty Jones, life long Ohio State supporters,
endowed the fund in 1996.
Each year the Ross County alumni club raises money for scholarships by raffling off a
pair of season tickets to Ohio State home games. Fans can buy a raffle ticket from any
club member. Members can be found on the Ohio State University Alumni Club of Ross
County Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/40807665185/). Only 300
tickets are sold. In addition to season tickets, several single-game pairs will also be
raffled as consolation prizes. The drawing will be held on August 20th.
The Ohio State Alumni magazine is published by the Ohio State University Alumni
Association and distributed to over 100,000 members. The students featured in the
photo are Taylor Dratwa, Kasandra Dalton, Per Petersen, Christina Case, Paige Hagley,
Beau Bilek, Kristen Cook, Joanne Newman Jones, Grant Cory, Allison DeLong and Gabby
Goshorn. Caleb Olson, Laura Chenowith, and Emily Irvin are quoted in the online article
on the web at go.osu.edu/rosscountyscholars.
The Ohio State University Alumni Club of Ross County is open to anyone, not just Ohio
State graduates. The purpose of the organization is the Bob and Betty Jones Scholarship
Fund, which awards scholarships to Ross County students bound for the Ohio State.
Alumni club members regularly judge at school science fairs and the group tends to
State Route 104 as part of the Adopt a Highway program. The group also conducts
several social activities throughout the year and will be ushering at Tecumseh! this July.
