Frost was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature 31 times.[49]
In June 1922, the Vermont State League of Women's Clubs elected Frost as Poet Laureate of Vermont. When a New York Times editorial strongly criticised the decision of the Women's Clubs, Sarah Cleghorn and other women wrote to the newspaper defending Frost.[50] Frost was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1931 and the American Philosophical Society in 1937.[51][52] On July 22, 1961, Frost was named Poet Laureate of Vermont by the state legislature through Joint Resolution R-59 of the Acts of 1961, which also created the position.[53][54][55][56]
Robert Frost won the 1963 Bollingen Prize.
