At its meeting in 1982, the Council established an Awards program with two types of awards. One is the "Honorary Member" for persons who have made invaluable contributions to the whole STP community. The second type is for the prime movers (organizers and coordinators) of scientific programs within SCOSTEP and for special services to the STP community. An Awards Committee was established to evaluate nominations and select the recipients in this category; the Bureau selects the Honorary Members.

To date the following Honorary Members have been selected:
