Wilt J. Hildenbrand Jr. Scholarship

The SCTE Foundation in partnership with YAS Foundation created a five-year campaign to permanently memorialize deceased technology pioneer and industry legend Wilt Hildenbrand, who unexpectedly passed away on 2018 at the age of 70 after a lengthy career that included four decades in the Cablevision organization.  

The goal of the campaign is to raise $40,000 per year through 2023, with proceeds to be used to provide Wilt J. Hildenbrand Jr. Scholarships that will be administered by the SCTE Foundation. In addition, SCTE•ISBE’s annual award recognizing a rising star under the age of 40 will be renamed the Wilt J. Hildenbrand Jr. Rising Leader Award managed by the SCTE Foundation.
