Each year, we celebrate excellence in our alumni community by asking alumni and friends to nominate an outstanding educator to be considered for an award. Each award is presented to a nominee who carries out the mission, beliefs, philosophy, and practices of Bank Street College through their work.
Please see the descriptions below for every award available. Nominators are asked to complete a full nomination packet. Each year, the award nominations process closes on December 15 and the BSCAA Awards are held the following spring.
For questions about the process or to make an initial nomination, please contact Alumni Relations at alumni@bankstreet.edu.
Thank you in advance for your nomination!
