Can I put a job award as an honor on the Common App?
I interned at a large IT company this summer and won a performance-based award. Would I be able to put that as one of my honors on the Common App? And if so, which box would I select it to be? I am asking because the boxes are only for whether it is a schoolwide, regional, national, or international award.

No, I would personally not put it as an honor because that’s an intern award, not an academic one. I would put that in EC and write “Awarded High Performance” or something in the Position and write about your experiences in the internship.
Hope this helps,
