Metcalf Awards

The Metcalf Awards for Excellence in Teaching are given annually to one or more of the finalists in the competition for the Metcalf Cup and Prize. Each winner of the Metcalf Award receives $5,000 and a silver medal. Over the decades, Metcalf recipients have represented an array of disciplines spanning the arts and humanities, sciences, business, education, mathematics, health fields, communication, and engineering. They have been accomplished inventors, authors, artists, and explorers, adept at preparing students for a lifetime of inquiry and achievement in their careers and communities. While their fields vary, all have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in their classrooms, laboratories, and studios. And all exemplify the extraordinary talent Boston University is proud to feature on its campuses.
