An armiger is a person who has the right to display heraldic arms; in the SCA it refers to anyone whom has received an Award, Grant or Patent of Arms.
By extension, an "armigerous award" is an award which carries with it one of the three above categories of Arms, as well as the three categories themselves. Many Kingdom awards "carry" an Award of Arms(AoA) or a Grant of Arms(GoA). Patents of Arms are restricted to Society wide Peerages.
"Non-armigerous awards," therefore, are awards which do not carry awards and do not make their bearers armigers.
For the sake of completeness and pedantry, it is worth noting that in the SCA, it is possible to have precedence bearing awards which are nonetheless non-armigerous, placing the person in the order of precedence above those without such awards but below any armigers.
