Teacher Fellowship recipients are chosen for leadership, service, and a superior ability to inspire a love of learning in students. These honors come with a $6,000 award.
The Kohl Foundation Scholarship and Fellowship program was established by Herb Kohl, philanthropist and businessman, in 1990. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $40 million to Wisconsin educators, principals, students, and schools.
“Part of Herb Kohl’s lasting legacy is his unwavering support for the profession that makes all others possible—education,” said JoAnne Anton, President & CEO of Herb Kohl Philanthropies. “He challenged us to continue celebrating and investing in educators who shape the future. By recognizing their hard work, achievements, and service, we hope to honor their impact, elevate their contributions within their communities, and inspire future generations to follow in their footsteps.”
Congratulations to our outstanding teachers!
