Udall Scholarship is an award given to sophomores and juniors enrolling in an approved college or institution that is competitive and merit-based. Just read on for more information.
The Foundation provides 80 undergraduate scholarships of up to $5,000 each year to students majoring in environmental studies as well as Native American and Alaska Native students majoring in health care or tribal public policy.
About the Udall Scholarship
All new Udall Scholars attend a five-day conference called the Scholar Orientation every August in Tucson, Arizona.
Scholars develop relationships with one another, Udall Alumni, and professionals working on environmental and tribal concerns while working together on a case study and learning new ways to interact.
August 2–6 in 2024 will mark Scholar Orientation. It is necessary that all 2024 Scholars attend.
The two optional pre-orientation seminars on community-based research for tribal and environmental health and Introduction to Native Nation-Building are also available to scholars.
All Scholars will develop new abilities and viewpoints, regardless of their area of study environment, tribal public policy, or health care.
Scholars will receive a travel scholarship for costs associated with travel to and from Tucson for the Scholar Orientation. Lodging and meals during Orientation will be provided by the Udall Foundation.
