For more than 15 years, Essity’s scholarship program has supported the academic dreams of employees’ families, awarding more than $1.2 million since its launch in 2008. The program continues to open doors for high-achieving students across North America, encouraging them to pursue higher education and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

“These scholarships are about more than money—they’re about recognizing hard work, passion, and the bright futures our Essity family is building,” said Leonard Qualtiere, Human Resources Director, North America Operations. “We are proud to support these talented young people as they chase their goals and make a difference in the world.”

Administered by Scholarship America, the program carefully evaluates each application based on academic performance, leadership qualities, community service, work experience, and personal aspirations. Each recipient embodies the values we hold dear at Essity—integrity, courage, and a commitment to improving lives.
