The Dartmouth Grange is accepting applications for the 2016 John H. Brown Jr. Scholarships, awarded to graduating seniors at Dartmouth High School and Westport High School.

One male graduate and one female graduate from each of the schools will be selected to receive a scholarship of $2,000. The Dartmouth Grange Scholarship Committee will consider criteria such as academic merit and community service.

The Committee tries to recognize students pursuing careers in environmental science or agricultural studies, but those interests are not required of applicants. Applications are due on April 15 and are available online from both high schools, or from the Dartmouth Grange, located at 1133 Fisher Road, Dartmouth, MA 02747. For more information, call the Dartmouth Grange at 508-636-1900.
