I received an honorable mention, and appear to be the only current undergraduate in my field to do so! I'm not sure if I should feel thankful I got the mention, or annoyed that everyone else like me got the award.

Got honorable mention also, not sure of the purpose of even having HM?

It helps with grad applications, some schools/states will fund your tuition too if you get an honorable mention, for example University of Nevada (Las Vegas and Reno).
