Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is permissible for a 15 year old boy to propose to a 21 year old girl.
However, it is important for both the young boy and the girl to consult with their seniors about marriage and seek their advice about choosing an appropriate marriage partner and the responsibilities that come along with marriage. Marriage is not only about permissibility and impermissibility. It is also about practicalities of life.
And Allah knows best
