In 1999, one of Bobb’s former players with the 49ers wished to endow a scholarship in Bobb’s name. He said it was Bobb’s choice as to where the scholarship was and how it was awarded. It took no time at all for Bobb to determine that it would go to a graduate of Baker High School who would attend Oregon State University, with a preference for students pursuing degrees in agricultural studies. Today, all graduates of high schools in Baker County or North Powder who commit to or currently attend Oregon State University are eligible to apply, with a continued preference for those studying agricultural sciences.

Bobb’s friendship with a Trustee of the Leo Adler Foundation brought about the connection between the two scholarship programs. The scholarship is awarded annually, ranging from $1,000-$2,500, to 1-2 students. Applications are reviewed by the McKittrick family to honor Bobb’s memory.

Over 100 donors contributed to this scholarship fund after Bobb’s passing. Like Leo Adler, Bobb had a vision for the qualities this award winner should possess. The recipient should be a hard worker, a good student, participate in school activities, and most importantly, be a good person. “Well rounded” was not a term that Bobb used lightly; it was something special.
