Bancroft-díj

A Bancroft-díjat minden évben kiosztja az amerikai Columbia Egyetem diplomácia vagy Amerika történelme témakörökben. A díjat 1948-ban alapították Frederic Bancroft történész, szerző és könyvtáros ötlete nyomán. Az amerikai történelmi irodalom legrangosabb díjának tartott díj mellé 10 000 dollár jutalom is jár (az összeg 2004-ben, az alap létrehozásakor még csak 4 000 dollár volt).
