On June 11, the 518 ElevatED community came together at MiSci for our annual Scholar Celebration, honoring the achievements and graduation of our 2026 Scholars.
This year's graduates have been accepted to institutions including RPI, Syracuse University, Stony Brook University, the University at Albany, the University of Houston, and the Culinary Institute of America. Their academic and career aspirations span a remarkable range of fields, from biomedical engineering and public health to business administration, fashion and textiles, criminal justice, and cosmetology.
The evening began with a screening introduced by Albany County Legislator Ellen Rosano and continued as Scholars reflected on their journeys and the exciting opportunities ahead.
Each year, Scholar Celebration reminds us of the power of investing in talented Capital Region youth. We were honored to celebrate alongside county officials, board members, mentors, educators, community partners, student volunteers, parents, families, and friends who continue to support our mission. Thank you to everyone who has helped make our Scholars' success possible as we work together to .
