2017 HERB KOHL FOUNDATION EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIP, INITIATIVE SCHOLARSHIP,
FELLOWSHIP, AND LEADERSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
MILWAUKEE — The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Scholarship, Fellowship, and
Leadership Program has announced recipients of the 2017 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for students, teachers, and
principals. Awards in the amount of $3,000 are being made to 100 teachers, 16 principals, and their schools, and $5,000
scholarships will be given to 207 graduating high school students.
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. 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. Leadership Award recipients are school principals who are being recognized for setting high
standards for instruction, achievement and character, and creating a climate to best serve students, families, staff, and
community. Excellence Scholarship, Fellowship and Leadership Award recipients are selected by a statewide
committee composed of civic leaders, representatives of education-related associations, and the program’s co-sponsors:
the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin Council of
Religious and Independent Schools (WCRIS), regional Cooperative Educational Service Agencies (CESA), and the
Association of Wisconsin School Administrators.
Initiative Scholarship recipients, chosen by their schools, 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. “I think it is significant that Wisconsin’s students, teachers, principals, and schools are recognized for their
devotion to education and learning,” said Michael Lancaster, WCRIS board president.
The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program was established by Herb Kohl, philanthropist and
businessman, in 1990. To date the foundation has awarded $11.5 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.
Letters notifying recipients of the award were mailed by the Herb Kohl Foundation on March 11, 2017. Regional
recognition luncheons honoring the recipients will be held in a few weeks. Following is the list of recognition luncheon
dates and locations as well as the list of recipients. Herb Kohl will attend all luncheons and present awards to recipients.
