John H. Brown, Jr. Scholarship
John H. Brown joined the Smith Mills Grange in North Dartmouth in 1999. He became a Dartmouth Grange member when Smith Mills Grange decided to join Dartmouth Grange in May of 2000. Mr. Brown generously set up a scholarship fund and asked the Dartmouth Grange to manage it following his death in 2007.
The Dartmouth Grange was directed to award four individual $2,000 scholarships each year. They are given to one graduating senior boy and one graduating senior girl from both Dartmouth High School and Westport High School. Additional scholarships at varying amounts may also be given at the Scholarship Committee's discretion. The scholarships are very specific and must stay in the category in which they are awarded. If there is no applicant in one of the categories, the scholarship is rolled over and awarded the following year in that same category, thus doubling that year’s scholarship amount.
The scholarships are open to any graduating senior from either high school. The scholarship committee tries to recognize students interested in environmental science or agricultural studies, but that is not essential for applying for the scholarship.
Applications are available below and they are also available online from each school. They are due on April 15th of the current year. The awards are announced at each high school’s awards night. The John H. Brown, Jr. Scholarship is paid directly to the student at the beginning of their second semester when they present the scholarship committee with their first semester grades and the invoice for their second semester bill.
