We’re excited to share an update on Monroe County’s 2026 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarships.
After Erica Urheim chose to pursue other scholarships and post-secondary education opportunities, the Community Foundation was pleased to award a 2026 Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship to Edgewood High School senior Isabella Carson.
“I am beyond grateful for this experience, and would like to say thank you to everyone who made this scholarship possible for me,” said Carson. “I appreciate my friends, family, and the good people at the Community Foundation for all of your support and love. Again, I am very thankful for this amazing opportunity.”
Isabella plans to attend the University of Evansville this fall.
Monroe County’s other 2026 Lilly Scholarship recipient, Helee Patel, also a senior at Edgewood, plans to attend Indiana University.
Congratulations to Erica, Isabella, and Helee! We’re proud to support all three of these outstanding students as they take their next steps and look forward to the impact they will make in their communities and beyond.
