This competition identifies future leaders in environmental, Tribal public policy, and Native health care fields. Awards are made to outstanding sophomores and juniors who fall into either of these two categories:
- Those who intend to pursue careers in environmental public policy
- Native American or Alaska Native students who intend to pursue careers in health care or tribal public policy.
The scholarship covers eligible expenses for tuition, fees, books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $7,500.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and have a minimum GPA of 3.0.
The Udall Undergraduate Scholarship honors the legacies of Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall, whose careers had a significant impact on Native American self-governance, health care, and the stewardship of public lands and natural resources. The current Udall Scholars and ongoing alumni network continue to carry forward this tradition of public service for a better world.
