    We are pleased to offer two $500 scholarship opportunities for graduating seniors in the Westport River watershed: Fall River, Dartmouth, Freetown, Westport, Little Compton, and Tiverton.  One award, was made possible by the generosity of the late Margot C. Boote, who was active in education and the environment. The second award, was initiated by Bill Heath in memory of his parents Ruth and Bill Heath.
