Each recipient of the Billy E. Hibbs Safety Award also receives a scholarship to be awarded to a deserving student of the district or college's choosing.

Ozella Jones spent her life dedicated to the education of children. She taught thousands of children during her 25 years in education at the New Boston Independent School District in New Boston, Texas. The recipients of the scholarship are encouraged to take that extra step to learn more and then as Ozella would say, “Learn even more.”

This scholarship exemplifies his continued belief in giving back to our communities and furthering the education of our children.
