Dave and Nettie Hintz Memorial Scholarship

The Dave and Nettie Hintz Memorial Scholarship was established in 2015 by their family to honor their commitment to helping others.

Dave and Nettie were both raised in the Amherst area and spent their entire lives in the village working and raising their four children. Dave was a milk hauler and school bus driver. He was very active in the Conservation Club, Lions Club, volunteer fire department and Village Board. He loved to hunt and fish. Nettie was a homemaker and was very active in her church. She loved to cook, bake, crochet and knit, generously sharing her gifts. She was always there with a helping hand.

Dave and Nettie were strong proponents of working hard, using their God given talents to help others and encouraging education. With this in mind, this scholarship is to go to a student with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 with a future career in natural resources, the health field, or education.
