The McKool Smith law firm awarded scholarships to four Dallas-area students, including Jenna McCoppin of W.T. White High School. The students, who are recent high school graduates, received the funds through The First Tee of Dallas, a nonprofit scholars program that uses the game of golf to promote success in academics and life skills.

McCoppin received $1,500 to help with her first year of tuition at the college of her choice.
