Milken Educator Awards Program: The Milken Educator Awards honor top educators around the country for their achievements and for the promise of what they will accomplish in the future. Each Milken Educator receives an unrestricted award of $25,000. Candidates are chosen through a confidential selection process and are reviewed by a panel appointed by the Kentucky Department of Education. More details about the award's history, goals and recipients are available at the Milken Family Foundation website.
