KAUKAUNA — Two seniors at Kaukauna High School will each receive $10,000 scholarships from the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation, the foundation announced Tuesday.
Norah Bowers will receive the Herb Kohl Excellence Scholarship, which recognizes student leadership, citizenship, school and community involvement and academic achievement.
Katelyn Leaman will receive the Initiative Scholarship, which recognizes students who put forth extraordinary effort to do their best in the classroom and have overcome significant obstacles or adversity but whose class rank or other extenuating circumstances likely make them ineligible for academic scholarships.

The Student Excellence and Initiative Scholarships of $10,000 will be awarded to 187 graduating high school students who have demonstrated academic excellence and initiative and have displayed a broad range of activity and leadership in their community.

Kohl Teacher Fellowship awards of $6,000 will be presented to 100 teachers who were nominated for their leadership and service in and outside the classroom, their ability to inspire a love of learning and to motivate their students.
