In 2004, Araujo was awarded the Sofía-Kovalevskaia grant. In 2013, Araujo won UNAM's Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz 2013 award, and was elected to the Mexican Academy of Sciences. In 2024, Araujo was named Fellow of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS).

Service
In 2012, Araujo served as the spokesperson of the board of Trustees of the Mexican Mathematical Society. In collaboration with other members, they funded the Equity and Gender Commission of the SMM in 2013, "to promote the inclusion of underrepresented groups, in particular women, in the mathematical activity of the country". She was part of the Commission from 2014 to 2018. She was a member of the Directive Commission and the Diversity and Gender Commission of the Union of Mathematical Societies in Latin America and the Caribbean (UMALCA) from 2021 to 2024.

Araujo is the ambassador for Mexico in the Committee of Women of Mathematics of the International Mathematical Union. She was president of the Mexican Mathematical Society (SMM) for the term 2022–2024 and has been reelected for 2024–2026.
