As mentioned, the nomination and application process for the Teacher Fellowship awards and Outstanding Wisconsin Leadership (Principal) awards are to be completed online. Once a teacher or principal has been nominated they should receive a link, within 48 hours, to login to the application portion of the new website where they complete an application for the award.

Please note, applications can be started and saved for later, so make sure nominees and students applying for an Excellence Scholarship understand that they do not need to complete the entire application in one sitting.

Mark your calendars with the following Kohl award deadlines:

The Teacher Fellowship applications are due November 22, 2017 to the teacher’s diocese or jurisdiction head office. Once you have completed your application you will receive an email confirmation with a copy of your application. Please print and mail or email forward your email confirmation with application attached to the appropriate person at your diocese or jurisdiction.

The Outstanding Wisconsin Leadership award applications are due December 1, 2017 to the principal’s diocese or jurisdiction head office. Once you have completed your application you will receive an email confirmation with a copy of your application. Please print and mail or email forward your email confirmation with application attached to the appropriate person at your diocese or jurisdiction.

The Student Excellence Scholarship applications are due November 22, 2017 to the student’s school’s diocese or jurisdiction head office. It is recommended that schools set a deadline for students to complete these applications ahead of the final deadline to make sure principals have time to electronically sign each application and mail or email forward their student application(s) to the appropriate person at your diocese or jurisdiction.

Please note: If your school’s policy includes confidential student recommendations or in general, you do not want students to read/review the required three letters of recommendation, you will need to have the students give you their username and password for the Excellence application and upload the recommendations after the student has completed his/her application.

If you are unsure of which diocese or jurisdiction your school belongs to please click “WCRIS Schools Map” below and find your school. Additionally, your school’s diocese or jurisdiction’s head office corresponds to a Board member on the WCRIS Board of Directors. Once you identify your diocese or jurisdiction, you can view which central office to send your completed applications to, by going here on the WCRIS website.

If you have questions about the Kohl award process please contact WCRIS at wcris.staff@wcris.org or by phone at (608) 287-1224.
