The Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan announced the inauguration of the Sang-Yong Nam Award in Korean Studies in February 2012. Once a year, the Nam Center honors one graduating senior or recent graduate of the University of Michigan whose academic achievement, citizenship, service to the community, and commitment to Korean Studies exemplify the values to which Sang-Yong Nam dedicated his life. The award comes with a $3000 cash prize.
