Spicewood resident Keeley Cooper received a $1,000 scholarship July 9 through the Kohl's Cares scholarship program.
Cooper received the award for her volunteer work with young cancer patients.
The program's sponsor, Kohl's Department Stores, recognized the 11-year-old as part of its national program granting higher-education scholarships to volunteers who have had a positive effect on their local communities.
Cooper, a brain tumor survivor, created custom backpacks to carry personal items for children undergoing hospital treatment.
