1 NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Monday, March 21, 2016 Contact: Kim Marggraf mobile; office HERB KOHL FOUNDATION EXCELLENCE SCHOLARSHIP, INITIATIVE SCHOLARSHIP, FELLOWSHIP, AND NEW LEADERSHIP AWARD RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED MILWAUKEE The selection committee for the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Scholarship, Fellowship, and Leadership Program has announced recipients of the 2016 Herb Kohl Foundation awards for students, teachers, and principals. The $3,000 awards are being made to 100 teachers, 16 principals and their schools, and 184 graduating high school students. This year marks the first Kohl principal awards that recognize school leadership across the state. 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. Recipients of the new Leadership Award are school principals who are being recognized for setting high standards for instruction, achievement, and character and for 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 and 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 president. The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program was established by Herb Kohl, U.S. Senator (Retired) in To date the foundation has awarded $10.2 million to Wisconsin educators, students, and schools. New this year is the addition of the Leadership Award to recognize outstanding Wisconsin school principals. 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 9, Regional recognition luncheons honoring the recipients will be held in a few weeks. Following is the list of recognition luncheon dates and locations and the list of recipients. Herb Kohl will attend all luncheons and present awards to recipients. 1
