The Legacy
A Life of Purpose
The Jessica Costanzo Scholarship Fund was established in November 2014 when our only child was killed in a car accident.
Jessica was the world to us and she touched many lives in her 23 short years. She graduated from Epiphany Cathedral School, Venice High, and Webber International University. She played volleyball at each level. Jessica was an honor student who was active in sports whether playing or coaching.
Our community honored her by dedicating a softball field at Wellfield in Venice, a place where she spent many hours practicing and playing.
The basketball/volleyball court at Webber International University now bears Jessica's name as a further tribute to her legacy.
When Jessica walked into a room, she lit it up with her smile and effervescent personality. We miss Jessica every day but continue her legacy with the scholarships that have been awarded in her name.
To date, over fifty students have received Jessica’s Scholarships. Our daughter lived a “Life of Purpose” and we will continue to honor her legacy with this scholarship fund.
Scholarship Details
When the Jessica Costanzo Scholarship was first started at Epiphany Cathedral School in Venice, FL., this scholarship was for a student going into 7th or 8th grade who “lived a life of purpose” as did Jessica. This scholarship has grown so much that it is now endowed. We are so grateful!
In 2018 we felt we needed to expand the scholarship so that Jessica’s legacy would assist more students to achieve their goals. Now, a graduating senior from Venice High School, can receive a scholarship to Webber International University. Jessica graduated from all three schools. As of July 2024, we have awarded over 50 scholarships in Jessica’s name. Her legacy truly lives on! The scholarship is a 501C3.
We are so blessed to have friends and family who have contributed to this wonderful cause!
