Teacher nomination forms for the 2023 Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Fellowship award can now be obtained from school district administrators and principals.
For teachers to be eligible, they must be nominated by a parent, student, other teacher, community member or school administrator. Wisconsin teachers who instruct grades Pre-K through 12 and who plan to continue in their current capacity for at least one year are eligible. The Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Fellowship rewards teachers who have demonstrated superior ability to inspire love of learning in their students, have motivated others, and have provided meritorious service both inside and outside the classroom.
Established in 1990, the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation awards 100 Fellowships annually from among all applicants throughout the state. Over the years, the program has awarded over 3,400 fellowships to teachers throughout the state. Many agriculture teachers in the state have been name recipients of the honor.
The deadline for submission is October 4. Fellowships are $6,000, with an additional $6,000 grant going to the school of each Kohl Fellow.
