McKinney Boyd senior Jordin Shelley was one of three recipients of the Living for Zachary Scholarship.

The scholarship was presented to Shelley Friday evening, Feb. 7 at the Living for Zachary Education Forum at The Heart Hospital Baylor in Plano. Shelley will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall pursuing a degree in biology with plans to continue on to medical school and become a cardiologist.

The Living for Zachary nonprofit was started after Zac Schrah, a seemingly-healthy 16 year old, collapsed during a high school football practice in Plano on April 2, 2009. The organization is dedicated to raising awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and saving lives through community education.
