The Opera Club shares that love of music by providing scholarships and music programs for students in Marion, Sumter and Lake counties. In 1997, the club began offering the Harold S. Schwartz Music Scholarship Program. Named after the founder of The Villages in honor of his love of music, the program provides scholarships to students who want to continue studying music after graduating high school. Since beginning the scholarship program, the club has awarded more than $387,000 to 76 students in the tri-county area.http://www.operaclubofthevillages.com
