Herb Kohl Educational Foundation for Teachers and Students
MILWAUKEE - The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program was established by Herb Kohl, a philanthropist and businessman, in 1990. Since then, the foundation has awarded nearly $28.3 million to Wisconsin educators, principals, students and schools. “Education is the key to the future of Wisconsin and our nation. I am very proud of the accomplishments of these students, teachers and principals and look forward to the great contributions they will make in the future,” Kohl said.
The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Student Scholarship, Teacher Fellowship and Principal Leadership program has announced recipients of the 291 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for Wisconsin students, teachers and principals. Awards in the amount of $6,000 are being made to 100 teachers, 17 principals, and their schools, and $10,000 scholarships will be given to 174 graduating high school students.
Herb Kohl Foundation has impacted more than 8,600 people and 3,200 schools since 1990!
Student Excellence Scholarship recipients have demonstrated excellence in the academic arena and high motivation to achieve, have displayed a broad range of activity and leadership outside the academic setting, and have shown strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond.
Teacher Fellowship recipients are educators who have been chosen for their superior ability to inspire a love of learning in their students, their ability to motivate others, and their leadership and service within and outside the classroom.
