The John Jay Award is presented annually by Columbia College of Columbia University to its alumni for distinguished professional achievement. It is named for Founding Father of the United States John Jay, Columbia College Class of 1764. The first awards were handed out in 1979.
As of 2020, the awards have been presented to 220 honorees.
Notable former recipients are shown below and are grouped in cohorts by the decade when they received the award. The list of recipients include many well-known professionals in a wide variety of fields. Among the recipients are eight Pulitzer Prize winners, five Nobel Prize laureates, five Tony Award winners, five billionaires, four Academy Awards winners, three Golden Globe Awards winners, two United States Attorneys General, a President of Estonia, a Chairman of the Federal Reserve, an administrator of the National Aerospace Development Administration, a United States Secretary of Defense, a Senator of the United States, and numerous other accomplished businessmen, journalists, politicians, athletes, playwrights, and literary figures.
A dinner, during which the award would be bestowed upon the recipients, is usually held to raise scholarship and support money for the John Jay National Scholars Program. The dinner was cancelled in 1989, when alumni awardee Frank Lorenzo, then Chairman of Eastern Air Lines, was widely criticized for his treatment of Eastern Air Lines' striking machinists and for his controversial managing techniques.
In 2004, the award was given to American real estate businessman Peter Kalikow, who was serving as chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and was the former owner and publisher of the New York Post. Kalikow's son graduated from the college in 2002 and he had been a major donor to the university. His selection marked the first time since 1979 that the award was given to a non-alumnus of the college. His receipt had generated controversy among professors and alumni, among them Professor Michael Rosenthal and former Alumni Association President Harvey Rubin, an independent publisher who is the father of college alumni James and Elizabeth Rubin. Since then, only alumni of the college are eligible for the award.
