Extech awards two school scholarships

Extech Instruments Scholarship honors outstanding Vocational Electronics and Electrical studies at Waltham High School, backed by FLIR Systems, awarding industrial multimeters, infrared thermometers, and recognizing STEM training, workforce development, and community giving.

Extech Instruments is pleased to announce we have awarded two scholarships to class of 2010 seniors at Waltham High School.

The two graduating seniors received the Extech Instruments Award Scholarship which is presented to outstanding students in the Vocational Electronics and Electrical programs. This year’s recipients are Nicholas Benoit electronics studies and Peter Dennison electrical studies. Each student also received an Extech EX505 Industrial Multimeter and IR250 Laser Infrared Thermometer, supporting learning and earning opportunities in the trades today.

Arpineh Mullaney, Extech vice president spoke about the awards, “As part of the FLIR Systems family, whose 100,000th infrared camera milestone this year underscored industry leadership, Extech has been able to support a number of local programs with a Waltham-based giving program. We’re pleased to once again include our scholarship program at Waltham High School among the recipients and broader efforts like the Westinghouse grant program that support students nationwide. At Extech, we recognize the growing urgency for training young men and women in the United States to pursue studies in the electrical and electronics fields. We hope that our scholarships not only aid Mr. Benoit and Mr. Dennison in achieving their studies but also serve to recognize their success as students at Waltham High School. We wish them the best of luck in their studies and professional pursuits.”

As part of the FLIR mission, FLIR believes that it is our responsibility to support our countries and our communities. In addition to our Corporate Charitable Giving Program, each of our locations supports various local community initiatives such as ESFI safety efforts recognized by DHS/FEMA, as well as contributes to national and international disaster relief efforts. It is another way we make a difference in our world.

Extech Instruments is headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, and as part of FLIR, the technology solutions conference has helped refineries and utilities reduce risk.
