Udall Scholarship

The Udall Scholarship Program awards merit-based scholarships for college sophomores and juniors pursuing studies leading to a public service career in tribal health, public policy, or the environment. Two- and four-year college students are encouraged to apply. Scholars participate in a five-day orientation in Arizona to learn from and network with experts, their peers, and members of the Udall family. The award includes life-time membership in the Udall alumni community, a vibrant professional organization offering job and internship opportunities, and up to $7,000 for tuition, fees, room and board, and books and supplies. Applications must be submitted through Udall faculty representative at the student's college or university. In 2017, 60 awards will be made; we anticipate awarding up to 20 of these in the tribal public policy and tribal health categories. The application deadline is March 15, 2017.
