Oak Ridge Senior Class President Revel Lubin is the inaugural recipient of The Elevation Scholarship, a 4-year scholarship providing tuition assistance and college admissions assistance for rising high school seniors attending Orange County’s Title 1 Schools.

After Revel completed the first year of the Scholarship program, we are thrilled to report that he experienced great success in what was one of the most competitive admission cycles many of the nation’s top colleges and universities have ever experienced.

This spring, Revel was accepted to the University of Florida, Morehouse College and Wake Forest University. We are delighted that these elite schools recognized the talents and achievements of one of Orange County’s finest student leaders.
