    verb
    Simple past and past participle of award.

    The committee awarded the contract to the lowest bidder.

    She was awarded a full scholarship to study overseas.

    Note

    One spelling does double duty in the passive, because award can take either the prize or the person as its object. Either one can become the subject: the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, or she was awarded a scholarship. When the person is the subject, no preposition is needed. When the prize is the subject, the recipient follows to. Both orders are equally standard.
