- About this Scholarship: This scholarship was established in 2025 by the family of Bill Amaral. Bill was truly a family man who valued hard work and caring for his family and friends. He loved watching his children participate in sports and would keep statistics for each game and competition. This tradition continued with his grandsons, who gave him the nickname, ‘The Stats Master’. He called his grandsons after each of their games, gave them their stats, and would say ‘This is the Stats Master – goodbye’. He always valued hard work and a job well done – win or not.
