Scholarships
Each year, ELEVATE Beyond Seniors have the opportunity to apply for scholarship funds. It is our mission to find funds for our students so that they can go to the institution of their choice. Our students get accepted to great schools and we want them to have the opportunity to follow their dreams!
Students who are part of ELEVATE Orlando at Jones High School, Evans High School, and OakRidge High School have big plans and big dreams. Then, they get accepted to outstanding universities and colleges, but they need resources to be able to stay throughout their entire post-secondary career.
Scholarships open the door to a college education for talented students who might otherwise be left thousands of dollars in debt, or not attend college at all.

Ervin and Sally Moses have spent their life creating a legacy of service in which in their lifetime, they have blessed multitudes of friends, families, church members, nieces, nephews, and anyone that came across their paths. As a Vietnam veteran, Ervin Moses gained the skills that helped shape him into the man he is today. He shortly after met the love of his life, Sally, in which began a beautiful marital journey that has lasted for over fifty years. Out of this marriage, came along their three daughters. Ervin and Sally were always dedicated to instilling in them the value of embracing their own path and defying all odds.
