∙ 9y agoThe only reward listed in Benjamin Franklin's online biographies is the Copley Medal he received in 1753. It was awarded to him for his work on electricity. Even though he apparently didn't receive a lot of awards such as trophies and plaques, his intelligence and hard work did not go unnoticed as evidenced by the fact that he was presented with several honorary degrees. One of them was a doctorate bestowed upon him by St. Andrews.
