North Hills student earns 2019 Bright Futures Scholarship

A North Hills High School senior is among the winners of the Kimberly-Clark Corp.’s 2019 Bright Futures Scholarship Program.

Aidan Schneider, the daughter of Tom and Jodi Schneider, plans to use her scholarship to attend Penn State – University Park.

“We are proud to present Aidan with a Bright Futures college scholarship in recognition of her academic accomplishments,” said Jenny Lewis, vice president of the Kimberly-Clark Foundation. “We wish her the best as she pursues her dreams in higher education.”

Marking its 27th year, the Bright Futures program is administered by the Kimberly-Clark Foundation and awards college scholarships to children of Kimberly-Clark employees across North America. Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, leadership, work experience and involvement in extracurricular activities.

Each scholarship is worth up to $20,000 — $5,000 per year for up to four years — for full-time students studying at accredited colleges and universities.

This year, scholarships totaling $920,000 were awarded to 46 students across the United States and Canada.

Since its inception, the program has granted over $42 million in scholarships to more than 2,100 students.
