Well, both can be either nouns or verbs. A reward is something that directly benefits the recipient in exchange for something good they have done, often, but not always, financially. For example: a child is rewarded for tidying their room with a bag of sweets, someone who catches a bank robber is rewarded with £30,000 by the bank, someone offers a £10 reward to whoever finds their lost dog.

Nona's right. In other words, a reward is something given when a person does something that is for the good of others. An award is given for being good at something.
