Bancroft Prize

Bancroft Prize

The Bancroft Prize is awarded each year by the trustees of Columbia University for books about diplomacy or the history of the Americas. It was established in 1948 by a bequest from Frederic Bancroft. The prize is generally considered the most prestigious award in the field of American history writing and comes with a $10,000 stipend (raised from $4,000 beginning in 2004).
