MARION — A recent graduate of Old Rochester Regional High School has received a scholarship from Sippican Lands Trust.

Tyler Young received the 2024 Richard I. and Helen A. Arthur Scholarship, a $2,000 award, according to an announcement.

The award is made available through the Sippican Lands Trust Scholarship Fund and is given to a high school senior or first- or second-year college student who is a Marion resident, with a preference towards students interested in the environment, conservation or a related field of study.

“Tyler is a talented athlete, devoted student, and frequent volunteer within the community, including two summers spent on Sippican Lands Trust’s properties,” a press release said. “He is interested in studying environmental engineering and has indicated an investment in supporting the viability and natural beauty of the Buzzards Bay watershed.”

The scholarship award was created and named after Richard I. “Dick” (1933-2018) and Helen Adams Arthur (1940-2008) — beloved residents of Marion and long-time volunteers for the organization who held deep interests in the preservation of the beautiful open spaces in Marion, according to the release.
