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, awarded grants for small-scaled educational projects. Teachers employed and actively engaged in the teaching profession in the public schools in Chilton and/or Coosa Counties were eligible to apply for these grants.
