Purpose: The Morris K. Udall Scholarship and
Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation
awards approximately 75 scholarships annually to students
pursuing careers related to environmental public policy, or
who are Native Americans or Alaska Natives pursuing careers
related to health care or tribal public policy. The program
honors Representative Udall’s work to preserve the
environment and public lands.
Programs Funded: The Scholarship covers tuition,
fees, room and board expenses up to $5,000 during one year;
Scholars selected as sophomores may be renominated and
selected for a second year. Applicants not selected as
sophomores are encouraged to apply again as juniors.
Eligibility: Candidates must be U.S. citizens or
permanent residents, and be sophomores or juniors with a
minimum 3.0 (9.0) GPA. Majors in any fields are eligible;
students should have studied subjects related to environment
and public policy in the sciences or social sciences, and
should have relevant campus or community service experience.
Selection Criteria: The Udall Foundation seeks
candidates who, in both their academic and extracurricular
activities, have demonstrated commitment to environmental
policy issues. Consideration is given to the student's field
of study, career objectives, and the extent to which the
individual has the commitment and potential to make a
significant contribution to his or her field.
Application/Nomination Process: Pomona College may
nominate up to six candidates each year. On-campus deadlines
are normally early in Spring semester. Prospective
applicants are advised to inform themselves about the
application process on the Foundation’s website, and
contact either the Udall Scholarship faculty advisor or the
Graduate Fellowships Office as soon as they decide they are
interested. You are eligible if off-campus in either
fall or spring semester. We encourage you to seek
advice as you write your application draft!
