Columbia Affiliated | External Awards & Fellowships
Awards
PRESIDENTIAL TEACHING AWARD
Established in 1996, the presidential awards honor the best of Columbia's teachers for the influence they have on the development of their students and their part in maintaining the University's longstanding reputation for educational excellence. They are conferred according to the criteria and procedures developed by separate faculty committees for the awards for faculty and graduate students.
The awards are designed to recognize the diverse forms that teaching may take in the different parts of the University. Therefore, anyone who holds a full- or part-time faculty appointment in one of the departments within the Columbia Corporation, other than student officers of instruction, is eligible for the faculty teaching award. Candidates for the graduate student awards must be enrolled in a degree program offered by one of the schools within the Columbia Corporation but do not need to be teaching in the year in which they are nominated.
Each year, the President of the University writes to faculty, students and alumni asking for nominations for the two awards. Individuals may, however, submit nominations for faculty or graduate students any time by clicking on the nomination buttons here: Faculty Nomination Form and Student Nomination Form.
LIONEL TRILLING BOOK AWARD
The Lionel Trilling Book Award is given to a member of Columbia’s faculty whose book was published in the previous year and upholds a level of excellence commensurate with the work of Lionel Trilling CC ‘25, GSAS ‘26, GSAS ‘38. The award was established in 1976 in honor of Professor Trilling, a gifted and dedicated teacher who was deeply committed to undergraduate education, as well as a public intellectual known nationally for his scholarship and literary criticism, which appealed to a wide-audience.
The Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council is responsible for selecting the winners of this award.
MARK VAN DOREN AWARD FOR TEACHING
The Mark Van Doren Award for Teaching has been awarded each year since 1962 in recognition of a faculty member’s humanity, devotion to truth and inspiring leadership. The award was established in honor of Mark Van Doren GSAS ‘21, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, novelist, playwright, critic, editor and biographer, as well as a renowned scholar and legendary teacher who inspired generations of Columbia students.
The Academic Awards Committee of the Columbia College Student Council is responsible for selecting the winners of this award.
junior faculty development award
The Provost’s Grant Program for Junior Faculty Who Contribute to the Diversity Goals of the University provides awards, of up to $25,000 each, to support new or ongoing research and scholarship, seed funding for innovative research for which external funding would be difficult to obtain, and curricular development projects. Requests for proposals will occur twice a year.
Fellowships
SHORT TERM PROFESSORSHIP IN PARIS
Each year, Alliance selects six faculty members to participate in transatlantic faculty exchanges: École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University each receive one member of the Columbia University faculty, and one faculty member from each of the French institutions is selected to go to Columbia University. These faculty members spend one semester or a few weeks as a Visiting Professor at the partner institution, teaching a course and giving public lectures. This gives them the opportunity to strengthen the link between the schools and to establish long-term contacts for collaboration on future projects.
