Marion Shelter Insurance agent Doug Heerey, in collaboration with Shelter Insurance Foundation, is sponsoring a $2,000 scholarship to be awarded to a college-bound Marion High School graduate.

Applications will evaluated on multiple criteria, including academic achievement, educational goals, citizenship, moral character, and leadership in school and community events. A committee of high school officials and community leaders will select the winner.

A student beginning college this fall may use the scholarship for tuition, fees, or campus housing.

Heerey Agency partially funds the scholarship.

Interested students should obtain an application and more information by contacting high school counselor Mark Felvus, or calling Heerey Agency at (620) 382-3254.
