the Oconomowoc Area School District (OASD) is pleased to announce that Oconomowoc High School (OHS) Seniors Gianna Milazzo and Nicholas Schulz have been selected as 2019 Herb Kohl Student Excellence Scholarship recipients.
The Foundation awards $10,000.00 scholarships to 188 Wisconsin high school graduates each year because of their leadership, citizenship, school and community involvement, and academic achievement. Students are also evaluated on their ability to articulate goals in four areas: future education goals, personal life goals, community/society service goals, and career goals. Milazzo and Schulz will both be recognized at a regional luncheon on Saturday, April 13, at Greenfield High School.
"Gianna and Nick represent the standard of leadership and academic excellence that we work to instill in all students at OHS. Our staff and students are incredibly proud of Gianna and Nicholas for receiving this honor. We could not think of two more well-deserving individuals", shared OHS Principal Jason Curtis. Congratulations, Gianna and Nicholas from the Oconomowoc Area School District!
About the Kohl Student Excellence Scholarship Program The purpose of the Herb Kohl Excellence Scholarship program is to recognize student leadership, citizenship, school and community involvement, and academic achievement. It is the goal of the Herb Kohl Educational Foundation to encourage Wisconsin youth to pursue post-secondary education in a public or nonpublic university, college, or vocational/technical college. Applicants must be graduating high school students who intend to enroll in a postsecondary institution, which may be a public or nonpublic university, college, or vocational/technical college. Students who are residents of the State of Wisconsin, are in good standing, and who demonstrate probable success in postsecondary education are eligible to apply. This is a competitive scholarship. Eligibility is not limited by GPA, class rank, or any other school or program conferred status (ex. National Honor Society). Any student who meets the above eligibility criteria may apply.
