The Ross Skelton Memorial Scholarship was created so as to honor the life of Ross Skelton.
Ross was known as the Chief Commercial Officer at SPX FLOW in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he helped lead a global multi-industry manufacturing leader with approximately $2.5 billion in annual revenue.
Nowadays, this scholarship fund offers annual award amounts which range from $1,000 to $5,000.
