King's Crown Leadership Excellence Awards recognize the significant contributions students make to the Columbia community. Awards are presented near the end of the spring semester, across eight categories to up to ten individuals per category.

Fellowships are opportunities students to pursue academic and professional interests. Through fellowships, students are often able to pursue study abroad, get involved in research or public service or take on a postgraduate degree.

Departmental honors may be established and awarded by any Columbia College department or academic program, and is recorded on a student’s final transcript.

Class Day Awards are given every year during the Class Day ceremony, an event that recognizes the graduating class of Columbia College. These awards recognize students for their contributions to the Columbia community.
