The Robert Foster Cherry Award is a prize given biennially by Baylor University for "great teaching".
[1][2] The Cherry Award honors professors at the college or university level, in the English-speaking world, with established track records of teaching excellence and the ability to inspire students.
Robert Foster Cherry, a graduate of Baylor University (A.B., 1929), made an estate bequest to establish the award.
In a typical award cycle, three finalists are selected based on nomination packages.
The finalists then compete for the award by giving a series of lectures at Baylor University.
