Janie Hill International Scholarship

As a teacher in the American International School of Dusseldorf, Germany, Ms. Janie Hill was first introduced to SUNY Brockport when she was selected to work as a supervising teacher for Brockport undergraduate student teachers assigned to this school. AIS Dusseldorf was an overseas teaching center for Brockport’s Program for American International Schools Overseas, Department of Education & Human Development. As part of this program, Janie Hill was invited to Brockport for graduate study, completing the MS degree in Educational Administration in 1985. Eventually, Janie returned to her homeland, England, and was Headmistress at Saint Martins in Solihull and Bremond College School in Coventry.

A world traveler, Janie has had opportunities to travel extensively through Eastern Europe, the Far East, and USA and has taken opportunities to work in a number of these countries. She has been associated with several educational establishments over many years. She believes that exposure to foreign cultures can be one of the most life changing experiences a person can have. Janie is committed to investment in tomorrow’s leaders and has no doubt that those leaders will be better people for exposure to the wider world.

Janie continues to show her dedication to education and to students by funding this scholarship, which is a reflection of her own desire to live as a resident of the world, not just a country.
