An Incredible Scholarship and Donation for Dayton Students

Robert and Joyce Amato of Dayton, NV have generously set up two programs that will benefit students in the area.  The first is a technology donation program that will be funded by a $5000 check for Chromebooks and hotspots for student use. The second is the Robert and Joyce Amato Scholarship program for Dayton High School seniors.  The scholarship program will come from a $10,000 donation from the family.  One student each year will receive $2000 and this program will last the following 5 years.  Joyce Amato will be part of the scholarship committee that will choose the student.  The Robert and Joyce Amato Scholarship will go to a high achieving student who achieves at least a 3.0 GPA - more details on this program is forthcoming.  The Amato's generosity is truly inspiring and to be applauded for supporting local students.
