Wallingford hydrogen energy manufacturer Proton OnSite awarded Albert Halbing of Merritt Island, Fla. a $100,000 scholarship to pursue his future in energy technology last week.
Proton Chairman Tom Sullivan gave Albert the scholarship through his Proton OnSite Scholarship Program.
Sullivan has awarded more than $2 million to 21 high school students over the past five years through the scholarship program, designed to foster the next generation of technology workers.
Along with an impressive academic and extra-curricular record, Albert’s six-year long science fair project on water electrolysis made his application stand out to a Proton OnSite panel of judges. Albert will use his prize to study chemical engineering at the University of Illinois.
