Every year at the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) Nationals, high-school aged student-athletes using Browning shotguns are eligible for a special scholarship called, surprisingly enough, the "Browning Scholarship." This year was no different, with Joey Donato the 2020 recipient of the Browning Scholarship.

Joey Donato is a member of the Pennsylvania All-State Team.


Donato, who shoots for the Warren County Claybusters team, scored 199 out of 200 in Trap Singles to secure the scholarship. Browning awarded him a Cynergy Gran Lightning for his performance.

For the last four years, Browning has been a titanium-level sponsor of the SCTP National Championships, held each year at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio. Browning's eponymous scholarship is awarded to the top high school-aged athlete in Trap Singles (male or female) shooting a Browning shotgun. Last year's scholarship recipient was Grace Marlen of St. Louis, Mo.
