The “book award” is a commonly asked question. Search this site and you’ll see the responses. It’s basically PR work by the awarding college. Sometimes it’s PR work by the college’s local alumni club.

Not too many Rutgers Book awards given at the rural or inner-city HS. Why? Because it’s not worth sustaining a relationship w/schools that aren’t likely feeders for potential applicants.

You can list it but it’s as prestigious as Who’s Who in American High schools.

It was given to you because the deciding members (principals, dept heads, etc.) wanted to recognize you. Would it hurt your chances? You’re looking down on Rutgers? Ehhh – maybe check the arrogance scale.
