MARSHFIELD – A Granton educator and a Marshfield High School (MHS) student were among those to benefit from the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation 2018 scholarship and fellowship programs.

A $10,000 Herb Kohl Foundation 2018 Excellence Scholarship was presented to Roma Shah, a senior at MHS, at a recognition luncheon hosted by Herb Kohl, Wisconsin philanthropist and businessman.

The Herb Kohl Excellence Scholarship recognizes students who have demonstrated academic potential, outstanding leadership, citizenship, community service, integrity, and other talents.

A $6000 Herb Kohl Educational Foundation 2018 Fellowship was presented to Mrs. Amy Hanna, a middle school teacher at the Granton School District, as the school receives a matching $6,000 grant.

The Herb Kohl Fellowship recognizes 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.

The Herb Kohl Educational Foundation has been recognizing educational excellence annually since 1990, awarding fellowships to 100 Wisconsin teachers and matching grants to each fellow’s school.

Since it was established, the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation has awarded $14.5 million to Wisconsin students, teachers, principals and schools.
