Established in 1993, the Bright Futures program is administered by the Kimberly-Clark Foundation and awards college scholarships worth up to $20,000, or $5,000 per school year, to children of Kimberly-Clark employees across North America. Recipients are selected based on their academic performance, extracurricular activities, work experience and community involvement.
“We are excited that Kimberly-Clark is supporting the Beech Island family by awarding five students with scholarships,” said Jeff Hutter, plant manager at the Beech Island manufacturing facility. “On behalf of the Beech Island manufacturing facility, we want to congratulate these outstanding students for their accomplishments and wish them well in their studies.”
This year, Kimberly-Clark awarded Bright Futures scholarships to 47 students in the U.S. and Canada. Since its inception, the program has granted more than $47 million in scholarships to more than 2,300 students for full-time study at accredited colleges and universities.
The average GPA for this year’s Bright Futures scholarship class is 3.97. Awardees will attend leading colleges and universities, including Cornell University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Stanford University. Past scholarship recipients have gone on to pursue successful careers in medicine, education, the armed forces, and engineering.
Established in 1952, the Kimberly-Clark Foundation is the charitable arm of Kimberly-Clark Corporation and is dedicated to supporting global causes that create lasting social change. Together with funding from the corporation and employees, its primary focus is on social impact investments that help mothers and children thrive, empower women and girls, and increase access to water and sanitation.
