Grange gives $22,500 to endow scholarship at DSU
The Delaware State Grange recently established an endowed scholarship to support agriculture students at Delaware State University, launching the fund Feb. 22 with the presentation of a donation in the amount of $22,500.
Founded in 1875, the Delaware State Grange is a chapter of the National Grange. The nonprofit organization advocates for rural America and agriculture, and brings rural communities together through community service.
Members of the Delaware State Grange unanimously agreed to establish the endowed scholarship fund at DSU to provide financial assistance for future generations of farmers and agriculture professionals, and to promote awareness of the organization’s dedication to strengthening rural communities.
The scholarship will be awarded beginning in the 2026-27 school year. The first preference for scholarship recipients will be to award an agriculture major who is also a Delaware resident. The second preference will be to an agriculture major regardless of residency, and the third preference will be a natural resources major who is a Delaware resident.
