Description

The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation awards approximately 65 scholarships each year to undergraduate students who intend to pursue careers related to the environment and conservation as well as to Native American and Alaska Native undergraduate students who intend to pursue careers in health care or tribal policy.

Udall Scholars receive access to the Udall Alumni Network and receive up to $7,500 for eligible academic expenses (tuition, fees, books, and room and board). Recipients are eligible for one year of support. Applicants can only apply in one category: environment, tribal public policy, or Native health care.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be sophomores or juniors and must be a full-time undergraduate student for the following academic year (fall and spring).
  • Applicants may be in any major, but must intend to pursue careers related to the environment, tribal policy, or Native health care (only Native Americans and Alaska Natives are eligible to apply in tribal public policy or Native American health care).
  • Grades are less important than community service and leadership records, but still significant. It's most important that your GPA be on an upward trend, or steady, especially in your major. There is no required minimum GPA.
  • Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or permanent residents.

Students wishing to apply in tribal policy or Native health care must be enrolled members of one or more Federally Recognized Indian Tribes that are included in the published by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to 25 U.S.C. § 5131.

Selection Criteria

Udall Scholars are selected on the basis of

  • commitment to a career related to the environment, or to tribal public policy, or to Native American health care;
  • demonstrated leadership, community service, consensus building, and integrity;
  • academic achievement;
  • an understanding of the Udall legacy, demonstrated through the application essay.

Applicants must be nominated by the college in order to apply. Interested applicants can find the internal application instructions on our website.
