The Powder River Energy Foundation manages the R.O.S.S. program. The Foundation will award up to four $2,000 scholarships for students entering tuition-based training, certification, and degree programs. The program is made possible by a fund established by Campbell County native Perry Ross, who retired from business with a substantial living trust dedicated to helping others succeed in life.

  • No requirement: Need not be a PRECorp member to receive R.O.S.S.
  • Important Notes:
