Lord Dufferin, troisième Gouverneur général du Canada depuis la Confédération, a créé la Médaille académique en 1873 pour promouvoir l'excellence en milieu scolaire partout au pays. Au fil des ans, elle est devenue la récompense la plus prestigieuse que puisse recevoir un élève ou un étudiant fréquentant une maison d'enseignement canadienne. Aujourd'hui, la Médaille académique du Gouverneur général est octroyée à quatre niveaux différents : le bronze aux diplômés du secondaire, le bronze collégial aux diplômés du collégial, l'argent aux diplômés du premier cycle universitaire et l'or aux diplômés des deuxième et troisième cycles. Cette médaille est remise au nom du gouverneur général par les établissements d'enseignement participants, en même temps qu'un certificat personnalisé signé par la Gouverneure générale.
