Wallingford, CT – February 17, 2022. McCann Systems is pleased to announce the 2022 STEM $1500 scholarship winner. This scholarship focuses on giving financial assistance to deserving students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields.
Over 100 applicants submitted their credentials along with an essay portion to McCann. Although it was extremely tough to choose a single winner, Eberly Tirillo stood out and took home the scholarship.
Eberly is attending her sophomore year at the University of Connecticut and is an EEB major, or Ecology and Environmental Biology. This coursework is fascinating, featuring classes such as Evolutionary Medicine, Parasitology, and Freshwater Ecology. Growing up on a farm, Eberly says she always wanted to “pursue my lifelong dream of working in ecological research and conservation.”
Ms. Tirillio has goals of finding an internship, pursuing a doctorate, and joining the Department of Environmental Protection, whose mission is to “conserve, improve and protect the air, water, and other natural resources and environment of the State of Connecticut while fostering sustainable development.”
A hearty thank you to the applicants. McCann Systems has committed to increasing the scholarship investment in 2022-23, bringing more help to our future stars of STEM and technology.
