Welcome to the Rob Russell Memorial Scholarship
Encouraging all by modeling integrity, sincerity, humbleness, and great success
The RRMS is intended to honor Cody High School and University of Wyoming alumni, Rob Russell, by awarding a scholarship to a Cody Bronc Senior who will be attending the University of Wyoming. Rob Russell was an outstanding person and the committee would like to honor a student who is equally outstanding. While being a "natural" at sports and academics, Rob never took these gifts for granted. He worked hard, practiced hard, played hard and studied hard. He was humble, polite, kind, patient and genuine and treated everyone he met with respect. He was a friend and a mentor to almost every student at Cody High School. This quality began when Rob was a child, but followed him throughout his entire life, and was his foundation for being such a successful adult.
$1,500 Freshman year

Rob Russell
A man we all looked up to
Rob was one of those people that everyone looked up to. Whether they knew him from sports or work, his compassion, integrity, and humbleness drew people to him. Rob truly believed that everyone had greatness in them and that the success of a person was only enhanced by the success of the people around them. It was with this attitude that Rob rose to great heights in both sports and his career as an accountant with Marathon Oil.
Rob was a pillar to his large and loving family and lifelong friends and he is deeply missed every day. With this scholarship, his family and friends hope to keep his admirable spirit alive by encouraging and rewarding others who possess the same traits that we all admired in Rob.
