Kimberly-Clark has announced the recipients of its 2024 Bright Futures Scholarships. In Huntsville, where Kimberly-Clark has a tissue manufacturing facility, a college scholarship was awarded to Marissa Rogerson, a senior at Almaguin Highlands Secondary School who plans to attend Nipissing University.
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 proud to present Marissa with this scholarship to support her education in recognition of her academic accomplishments and commitment to excellence,” said April Burke, Plant Manager, Huntsville Manufacturing Facility. “On behalf of the Huntsville manufacturing facility, we want to congratulate Marissa for her hard work and wish her continued success.”
This year, Kimberly-Clark awarded Bright Futures scholarships to 47 students in the U.S. and Canada. Since its inception 32 years ago, 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.
