Every year, these graduating applicants raise the bar with their academic achievements and dedication to lasting community service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eligibility for REV\u2019s scholarship program is based on several criteria, including being a current REV residential customer in good standing and residing within a REV service area.
