The 2020 iSparkle Scholarship winners have been announced – and this time three high school seniors who are relatives of Villagers are receiving cash from popular performer Petrina’s charity.
The top winner this year is Alexis Isaacson, who was awarded a $2,000 scholarship. She is the niece of Michelle Isaacson, who lives in the Village of Fernandina.
Two other winners – Emma Morgan and Kaylie Meyer – each received $500 scholarships. Morgan is the granddaughter of Vivian Ebersole of the Village of Rio Ponderosa. Meyer is the granddaughter of John and Sharon Modica of the Village of Pennecamp.
Applicants for the scholarships must be in their graduating year of high school and have a relative who owns property in The Villages. Each was asked to create a video as their application that focused on what he or she had done to emulate the values of iSparkle: Inclusion, Support, Protect, Act, Respect, Kindness, Lift Spirits and Encourage.
