Jay Dee Schafers, a Marion High School senior, has been awarded the Jayne S. and George W. Smith Girl Scouts scholarship of $3,000.

A gift from the estate of the former executive director created this scholarship several years ago.

Schafers was selected from a group of applicants to be interviewed by a committee before being chosen. She plans to attend Butler Community College this fall and major in nursing.

Schafers has been in Girl Scouts for 13 years, ever since kindergarten. Her parents are Kelley and Travis Schafers of Marion.
