Mental health effects everyone and sometimes it takes a village. We are thankful to all the people over the years who make Bo's Effort possible. Their shared compassion allows us to create awareness and support educational programs in our community. We are regular people (just like you) who want to make a difference.

We also want to recognize countless sponsors, businesses, committee leaders, volunteers and golf enthusiasts who support our mission.
Scholarships for Scholars is a non-profit corporation established to reward scholastic excellence in Anne Arundel County granting scholarships to qualified graduating high school students. Scholarships for Scholars is unique as the organization receives its operating funds from escheat funds- monies left in an estate in Anne Arundel County without any heirs - along with individual, family, organization and corporate donations. In 1984, Scholarships for Scholars was formed, managed by a Board of Trustees who are leading members of the local community.
Through Scholarships for Scholars, Bo’s Effort awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who have personal experience with mental illness or have chosen to go into the mental health field in some capacity upon graduation. The Bo’s Effort Scholarship Committee has the daunting task of reviewing several heart-felt essays from well-deserving, college-bound students and from those, selecting 5 to receive scholarships from Bo’s Effort. Scholarship recipients may use proceeds to help pay tuition, fees, books, technical equipment and room/board at the high education institution of their choice.
Bo's Effort was proud to award scholarships to Brianan Teal, Raeha Richman, and Rebecca Fick.
Bo's Effort was proud to award scholarships to Jayden Shiflett, Laci Petruccy, and Aileena Reed.
