Stony Brook University (SBU) is known nationally for its support of high school science education programs. Indeed, SBU is proud of its record (ranked #3 in the country) for propelling students up performance and income ladders (from the bottom quintile to the top quintile). Numerous Westinghouse, Intel, and now Regeneron award-winning students have performed their science training at SBU, including winners of the grand prizes.
