in Cognitive Science Mentorship Award (2004), the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching (2006), the Biological Basis of Behavior Society's Professor of the Year Award (2008), the Trustees’ Council of Penn Women Award for Advising (2016), and the Provost's Award for Distinguished Ph.D. Teaching and Mentoring (2018). Across her career, Thompson-Schill has also been awarded substantial funding for her research program, including continuous support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since 2000. As of 2019, three major grants are currently active and twenty-five are concluded. In 2021, Thompson-Schill was named Philadelphia's Biggest Foodie by the Delicious City podcast.
