The Olympic gold medallist attended Glasgow University's alumni Christmas dinner in Bute Hall to receive the reward in recognition of her achievements as Britain's most successful female rower.
Ms Grainger said: "It's incredible. I felt the big focus for me this year would be the Olympics, and winning it was everything I wanted it to be. I kind of thought I'd won everything I could win, so to be awarded this on top makes the year even more special."
