I received an award for achieving the highest combined grade in a series of classes taught by the same professor.

Is this worth mentioning at all?
 
Is it an official academic award at your school/within the department or an informal thing your professor does? If it's an official award I think you should mention it. If it's an informal thing, I probably wouldn't.

Sounds like this could be a good professor to write an LOR for you, especially if you know him/her well.

Definitely!

Good answer.

You can group an award like this with other collegiate awards and scholarships so as to save space.
 
Congrats on this. I'd say a recognition for academic achievement is worthy of mentioning regardless of "official status." As Catalystik said, you can put it in a list with other academic awards and have all of them take up only one slot.
 
Honest Truth: you can make up awards and 99% of the time nobody would care enough to check.
