A scholarship in memory of Amanda Strous has been established through the Dallastown Foundation Scholarship Committee, according to a news release.
Strous, a 2007 graduate of Dallastown High School, was murdered earlier this year in North Carolina. She had played soccer and field hockey all four years at the school. She also played field hockey at Shippensburg University.
The scholarship will be awarded annually to a Dallastown student.
