Andrew J. Rider Scholars

This award, named for the founder and first president of the institution, is given only to the top one percent of seniors, juniors and sophomores in each of Rider’s academic colleges and schools. The awards are based on the students' grade point averages.

Chairperson Leadership Award 

The Chairperson Leadership Award was established at Rider in 2012 to foster, recognize and reward outstanding academic leadership and vision, especially in the areas of responsible and professional management, mentoring and communication, and innovation.  One recipient is selected annually from nominations submitted by academic deans and associate/assistant deans, department chairpersons, and full- and part-time faculty.

Distinguished Alumnus/a Award

The Distinguished Alumnus/a Awards are bestowed annually by the board of directors of Rider University’s Alumni Association and by faculty and administrative committees representing each of the academic colleges. This award recognizes the honoree’s outstanding achievements and contributions to Rider University.

Distinguished Teaching Award

The Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award was established at Rider in 1961 to recognize faculty teaching excellence. Two recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award are selected annually by the University Honors Council from nominations submitted by Rider students, faculty, and academic administration.

Dominick A. Iorio Faculty Research Prize

When Dr. Dominick A. Iorio, Dean Emeritus, College of Liberal Arts and Science retired in 1997, an award for faculty research was established in his name. The award has been presented annually, with the recipients presenting their research publicly during the academic year.

Gordon E. Prichard Award for Volunteer Service

The award is named for Gordon E. Prichard, a member of the Rider Class of 1963, who served with distinction as a member of the Alumni Association Board. This award recognizes the honoree’s distinguished and exceptional volunteer service to Rider University.

Frank N. Elliott Award Recipients

The Frank N. Elliott Award for Distinguished Service is presented each fall to one member of the faculty, administration and support staff. The award was created by Rider’s Board of Trustees to honor Dr. Elliott at the time of his retirement in 1990 for the many contributions he made to Rider during his 21-year presidency. The award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated extraordinary service to Rider University.

Fulbright at Rider University

The Fulbright Program offers international educational and cultural exchange programs for passionate and accomplished students, scholars, artists, teachers, and professionals of all backgrounds to study, teach, or pursue important research and professional projects.

Honorary Degree Recipients

An honorary degree is the highest accolade Rider University can bestow on an individual. It is given to honor a person who possesses outstanding qualities and talents, who has made exceptional contributions to the field of his or her endeavor, and who exemplifies the highest standards of personal integrity and civic responsibility.

Longtimers Service Recognition Program

Each year Rider University holds the Longtimers Reception to celebrate the loyalty and dedication of its faculty and staff who have reached 10 years of service or more.

The Mazzotti Awards in Women’s Leadership

The Mazzotti Awards offer opportunities for women faculty and staff members to attend leadership development programs that will assist recipients in their professional development and benefit the Rider community. Faculty and staff may apply for programs that will develop personal, administrative, or organizational leadership skills as well as discipline-specific skills. Award recipients share their experiences with the Rider community upon program completion.

Nancy Gray Award

The Nancy Gray Award is presented each year on University Day. The award, named for Nancy Gray, former vice president for development and university relations, honors a member of Rider’s faculty or staff who exemplifies campus leadership, involvement, school pride/spirit and community service.

President's Award

The President’s Award is presented annually to outstanding students selected by a committee of faculty, students and administrators. Recipients exemplify the highest attributes of leadership and personify the objectives of Rider University’s Mission Statement, which includes the commitment “to acquire knowledge, think critically and communicate clearly and lead affectively.

President’s Inclusive Excellence Award

The President’s Inclusive Excellence Award has been established to highlight the Rider Community’s commitment to the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. Every year a member of each category area; students, faculty, and staff will be considered for this award.
