This pin adds to the collection of awards he has received from his beloved fraternity. In October, while serving as Basileus of Psi Chapter, he received the Georgia State Undergraduate Scholarship Award.
Pendleton was also recognized by his peers by being selected to the Morehouse College Hall of Fame by The Maroon Tiger, the College's student newspaper, which he served as the Managing Editor. In addition, he was recognized by his former employers, the National Institutes of Health, as he was awarded the Medical Scientist Program Training Grant for the funding of his medical education.
