PHILANTHROPY NEWS DIGEST
The Milken Family Foundation has announced the 160 winners
of the National Educator Award, an unrestricted
$25,000
award designed to recognize educational achievements. None
of the honored educators know that they are recipients
until the moment their names are announced, usually in
front of their classroom or school, during the foundation's
National Notification Week.
"The Milken Educator Award honors those educators who are
true leaders in their field," said foundation president
Lowell Milken. "Their exemplary work not only benefits the
children they teach, but hopefully will also encourage
many of those children to consider teaching as a worthy
career."
Since its inception in 1985, the Milken Educator Awards
program has honored 1,170 educators in 35 states with nearly
$30 million in financial awards. This year's recipients will
increase the numbers to 1,330 educators in 38 states.
"National Notification Week Gets Underway in Palmetto,
Florida." Milken Family Foundation Press Release 9/98.
