The Alumni Education Award is given each year to a faculty member who has contributed substantially to developing or participating in those programs of the Vanderbilt Alumni Association that further the education of alumni. Any full-time faculty member actively engaged in teaching in any of the schools or colleges is eligible.

Final selection is made by the Chancellor on the basis of a recommendation from the board of directors of the Alumni Association. The education committee of the Association is responsible for initiating the nomination. Nominations are solicited through Vanderbilt Magazine, through Vanderbilt Clubs, and from various active participants in alumni programs.

The award consists of a cash prize of $2,500 and an engraved julep cup. It is presented at the spring meeting of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. The first recipient was named in 1982.
