The Quantrell Award, or the Llewellyn John and Harriet Manchester Quantrell Awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching is a prize awarded by the University of Chicago for excellence in undergraduate teaching.

History

[edit]

The award was established in 1938 through an anonymous endowment from University of Chicago trustee Ernest Quantrell.[1] The award is presented to between three and six recipients each year, who are nominated by the students.[2] It is believed by the university to be the oldest prize for undergraduate teaching in the United States.[3] It comes with a stipend, which was originally $1,000.[4][5]

In 1947, Louise Roberts became the first woman to receive the Quantrell Award.[6]

In 1952, Quantrell agreed to make his contribution known and named the prize after his parents.[1]

As of 2019, the university required recipients to be full-time, tenure track faculty or senior lecturers.[7]
