Vishal Sunny Mehta is the Cypress College 2018-2019 APIA Scholarship recipient. Despite extreme hardships including losing his parents at a young age then being abandoned in France by his foster parents, Sunny earned his nickname by maintaining an easy-going demeanor and a desire to help others. He is working on a degree in engineering or molecular neuroscience, but whatever he decides, Sunny's plan includes working with Latino young people and helping them reach higher education goals. Sunny volunteered for the LAPD Eye and Ear program to prevent crimes in the community and also to help illegal immigrant crime victims. While keeping up his grades to make the Dean's Honor list, Sunny also volunteered at the Cypress College food bank and as a STEM scholar helping students enrolled in science classes.
