The School Committee released the names of 51 Norton High School seniors who were named as John and Abigail scholars Monday night.
The scholarship entitles the recipients to free tuition at any University of Massachusetts campus, or any state or community college. The scholarship is awarded to students for up to eight semesters of enrollment, which must occur within six years of high school graduation.
