Lynbrook HS Graduate Sean Krivitsky Awarded Daikin Science Scholarship

Daikin, the global leader in state-of-the-art heating and cooling products, recently presented a $2,000 scholarship to Sean Krivitsky, a 2023 graduate of Lynbrook High School. The award was part of $10,000 in scholarships given to five Long Island high school students as part of the Daikin Science Scholarship program. Now in its fourth year, the Daikin Science Scholarship is offered to graduating seniors in five Nassau County high schools who demonstrate academic excellence in the sciences, technology, or mathematics and pursue one of these majors in their college studies. The scholarships were presented to the students at an awards ceremony held at the Daikin Comfort Design Center in Lynbrook on June 14th.

Sean Krivitsky will be attending SUNY Stony Brook majoring in biochemistry to pursue studies in science research, a passion he developed at an early age. He has participated in the science research program, along with taking nearly every AP science course offered at Lynbrook High School, and last summer was selected to participate in a competitive Cold Spring Harbor Labs research project which continued through the school year. Despite the demands of the project, Sean drove an hour each day after school to conduct research at the world-renowned lab and still managed to stay ahead in all his classwork. Sean has a 101.62 GPA and is a member of the National, Math, and Science Honor Societies. Outside of research, he participates in several clubs, activities, and sports, and spends much of his free time volunteering with the Lynbrook Fire Department.

“Daikin greatly values the importance of education and is pleased to provide financial support to the next generation of scientists, engineers, and other professionals who will provide solutions to some of the most pressing global issues we face today and in the future,” said Kim Do, Strategic Marketing Manager, Daikin. “On behalf of everyone at Daikin, we congratulate this year’s Daikin Science Scholarship winners and offer our best wishes for continued success as they begin their higher educational studies.”

Since its inception in 2020, the program has provided $40,000 in scholarship awards to 20 graduating high school students in Garden City, Lawrence, Lynbrook, Oceanside, and West Hempstead.
