Since 2009, HOBO has awarded scholarships to deserving high school seniors from Coosa or Chilton County.  Funding for the annual scholarship program comes from a combination of proceeds from the sale of the Lake Mitchell HOBO calendar, the Poker Run and other contributions.

In lieu of our annual scholarships, for the school year 2020/2021, we have decided to provide grants for small-scaled educational projects. Teachers who are employed and actively engaged in the teaching profession in the public schools in Chilton and/or Coosa Counties are eligible to apply for these grants. Forms are available from the Principals and at the main school offices.

Contact Rebecca Beaty with any questions.

Previous scholarship applicants gather at Higgins Ferry pavilion to participate in the autumn "Renew Our Rivers" lake cleanup.
