| The DLSAA Distinguished Lasallian Award is the highest and most prestigious non-sports award given by the DLSAA. This award honors Lasallians
- Who have achieved multiple and earned distinction and unusual positive recognition for their vision, leadership, management, and integrity in their chosen fields, professions, or public service,
- Who are reputed nationally or internationally, and
- Who may serve both as professional and personal role models for Lasallian students and other Filipinos.
Any distinguished Lasallian awardee must possess the DLSAA Honors and Awards prequalifications at least twenty (20) years prior to selection and may receive the award only once.
From 1965 to 2004 (excluding one batch in 1950), the DLSAA has given approximately 122 DLSAA Distinguished Lasallian Awards - or their equivalents - for their exemplary professional achievements, with some alumni being multi-awarded for different fields. |
| | During the 70th Anniversary of the DLSU Manila in 1981, the honor was formally designated as the DLSAA Distinguished Lasallian Award. The award was not given yearly and the longest hiatus was a period of 12 years, i.e., from 1984 to 1995, inclusive. It is unclear if the award was only not given or simply not recorded due to archiving failure. |
|
| The DLSAA Lasallian Achievement Award honors alumni who have achieved either industrial, managerial, professional, advocational, or public service distinction or series of distinctions. This award category is dissimilar to the DLSAA Distinguished Lasallian Award in two main aspects:
- It focuses more on the singular distinctive achievements of the awardee in a single area and, accordingly, principally focuses on tasks rather on the persons and
- The award does not have a minimum 20-year award lapse.
The DLSAA shall form an Exemplary Honors Committee headed by the Vice-President for Honors and Awards or his equivalent which shall solicit nominations, screen nominees, conduct research on nominees, and select awardees for both the DLSAA Distinguished Lasallian Award and the DLSAA Lasallian Achievement Award. The Committee shall submit its award recommendations to the DLSAA Board for approval or confirmation. |
