The SBB Research Group Foundation has named Eric Sun a STEM Scholarship recipient
CHICAGO, March 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The SBB Research Group Foundation named Eric Sun, a recipient of its STEM scholarship. The $2,500 award empowers students to create value for society by pursuing higher learning through interdisciplinary combinations of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Eric Sun, a sophomore, is pursuing a dual BA/MS in Physics and a BSE in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Eric also conducted significant research at Yale, eventually publishing and presenting his work at MIT. He is the director of a coding nonprofit that serves over 2,000 students in rural areas and partners with organizations to teach skills like machine learning and programming.
"Eric is dedicated not only to his studies but to the academic access of so many others. It's exciting to support a student who will impact others in this way," said Matt Aven, co-founder and board member of the SBB Research Group Foundation.
