Hello all. I've just recently gotten back into Freespace 2, and have been 
tearing away at testing out ideas for missions in FRED2. I've run into a bit 
of a block though: I can't figure out how to give medals/awards in a custom 
campaign, like you could in FS1 using the original FRED. Unfortunately I 
lost my copy of FS1 during a move sometime ago, and haven't been able to get 
a new one as of yet to reference back to.

If anyone has any suggestions or helpful knowledge on this, please let me 
know :)

As far as I know, you can't do it within FRED.  Even after multiple
searches, the option isn't visible.

Your best bet is to medify the mission file directly with a text editor and
add the following lines:

$Formula: ( when ( true ) ( grant-medal "Medal of Valor" ) ) 
+Name: Event name
+Repeat Count: 1
+Interval: 1
+Team: 0

>>From there, you can select any medal you wish from within FRED.

The easiest method is to check how the official missions do it... :)
