Jerry Guyant and Bonnie Guyant Pacocha Family Scholarship

Jerry Guyant, a 1960 Amherst High School graduate, established the Jerry Guyant and Bonnie Guyant Pacocha Family Scholarship in 2006.

Guyant, the son of Gerald “Soccer” and Ethel Guyant, grew up in Amherst and participated in many high school activities, particularly student government. He was the student body president his senior year. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point in 1965 with majors in economics and social science. After four years in the U.S. Navy he entered commercial banking, specializing in real estate finance for C&S Sovran Bank (Bank of America).
