From Northport Schools: Northport High School senior Elliot Macolino has been selected as a recipient of the Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship. Along with receiving a $10,000 per year scholarship for four years, Elliot is also guaranteed a paid engineering internship with Amazon after his first year of college.
