Graduation Awards and Academic Honors

Graduation Plaques, Academic Medals, Scholar Pins and Graduation Trophies

A graduation is a memorable event that marks the end of a student’s academic endeavors and the beginning of a new journey. A graduation plaque, academic medal, scholar pin or graduation trophy can serve as a proud symbol of accomplishment.

Teachers and coaches want their students to excel, therefore a student’s accomplishment is a reward for them as well. All the hours of studying and training help a student to come closer to their dreams. At Lou Scalia's Awards, we believe every student and teacher deserves recognition for their hard work. That's why for over 50 years we've offered South Florida the best selection in academic awards.

Graduation Plaques

A graduation plaque should echo the accomplishments of the students in a way that resonates with the recipient. You can personalize the plaque with a photo frame plaque to record the moment, or choose a signature frame plaque for classmates to sign. Our plaques come in many different sizes, vertical or horizontal, and in many different finishes. Select from classic wood plaques to acrylic plaques in the color of your choice, or for that special honor choose an engraved crystal plaque.

A perpetual award plaque, which is presented to a new recipient year after year, is a popular choice with schools as its recipients are honored year round. It is also cost effective and can also be displayed as a motivational tool for students.

Academic Medals and Ribbons

Academic medals offer a sense of prestige and last a lifetime. They are available in antique gold, silver and bronze finishes and can either have a custom engraved message for a strong aesthetic, or you can choose from our large selection of graphic inserts. Each medal comes with a sateen neck ribbon, which comes in array of patterns or colors of your choosing. An academic medal should speak directly to the student’s accomplishment and highlight major milestones.

Graduation ribbons and scholar pins can mark individual success and are economical when rewarding a large number of students. We offer single ribbons or rosettes with two stream ribbons featuring a color insert of your choice. A safety pin backing is attached for easy use. Our ribbons are available in a rainbow of colors and our scholar pins are offered in many designs.

Graduation Trophies

A graduation trophy can be a suitable award to acknowledge a major accomplishment such as class valedictorian or athlete of the year. Or it can also be a simple appreciation trophy to thank a favorite teacher. Our graduation trophies come in many different materials from acrylic and glass to crystal, which is reserved for the highest honors.

Your personalized message will be engraved in the font and color of your choosing. It can seem challenging at first because the message must be concise, but a simple message can have a profound impact. The award may be humorous depending on the recipient, as a funny message can make the award much more memorable. Major accomplishments should be marked with a simple and meaningful message.

We can even add your school logo or imprint of your mascot to your graduation trophy for that unique touch. Some of our trophies allow for choice of graphic insert or figurine as well.
