Rebecca Brewer, Julie Katzer named 2017 Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Excellence Scholars

Two local students have been named Herb Kohl Educational Foundation Excellence Scholars for 2017.

Earning the honor are:

  • Rebecca Brewer, Silver Lake, from Wilmot Union High School.
  • Julie Katzer, Trevor, Westosha Central High School.

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. In 2017, there were 207 students selected.

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.

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.
