The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship Program selected the recipients of the 2007 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for students and teachers. The $1,000.00 awards are being made to 100 teachers, their schools, and 185 graduating high school students.
The foundation gave fellowship awards to the teachers for their ability to inspire a love of learning in students, their ability to motivate others, and for their leadership and service within and outside the classroom. Each Fellow’s school will also receive a $1,000 grant. (See list of recipients)
The students who received excellence scholarships 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. (See list of recipients)
A statewide committee selected the fellowship and scholarship winners. The committe is composed of civic leaders, and representatives of education-related associations and the program’s co-sponsors: The Wisconsin Newspaper Association, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Council of Religious and Independent Schools (WCRIS), and regional Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESA).
Another group of students received Initiative Scholarships from the foundation. These students were chosen by their schools, and have demonstrated exceptional initiative in the classroom and have shown strong promise for succeeding in college and beyond, but have not yet received other academic-based scholarships. (See list of recipients)
U.S. Senator Herb Kohl established The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program in 1990. To date the foundation has awarded $6 million to Wisconsin educators, 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 and teachers, and look forward to the great contributions they will make in the future”, Kohl said.
