Judith Blau has been on the receiving end of many awards, honors and professional Presidential nominations. She was awarded a Teaching Award from the Sociology Graduate Student Association in 1994. In 1995 Blau became a lifetime honorary member of the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (see the post titled "Interesting Facts" for more information). In 2005 she was recognized with the Rachel Rosenfeld Outstanding Mentor Award, which is given by graduate students at UNC-Chapel Hill to a professor who they believe is an outstanding mentor to the discipline of Sociology. When Rachel Rosenfeld, a sociology professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, died the award was named in her honor. That same year she was awarded the Oliver Cromwell Cox Award for Race in the Schools: Perpetuating White Domincance?(Lunne Reinner Publishers, 2003). The Oliver Cromwell Cox Award is awarded every year by the ASA Section on Racial and Ethnic Minorities to the author of a book or article that contributes to the termination of racism. She has also been given many research grants and fellowships, some of the most recent are: from the National Science Foundation (2003-2004), the Spencer Foundation (May 2001-April 2003), the Spencer Foundation (Summer, 2000) and the University of North Carolina (1999).
