Keviez Wilson, a graduating senior at Oakwood Adventist Academy, was recently named as a 2016 Gates Millennium Scholar. This prestigious award is only granted to 1,000 out of approximately 3.1 million high school graduates throughout the country. It provides recipients with a full scholarship to any accredited college or university they choose to attend for a period of ten years (up to their Ph.D. or other terminal degree) as long as the student continues to meet the academic requirements.
Keviez is a talented musician, model citizen and a God-fearing young man who currently serves as President of OAA's Student Association (previously Vice President). He was also recently recognized by the Huntsville Chapter of 100 Black Men of America. Keviez has chosen Oakwood University as his preferred institution of higher learning and plans to pursue a career in the medical field. Keviez's mother, Jacqueline Wilson, moved her family to Huntsville, Alabama, from the Atlanta, Georgia, area in the summer of 2014 as an act of faith and in order to raise her sons in a more Christian environment. God has seen and heard the faith and prayers of this dedicated mother and her sons called her blessed!
