General Information
The Foundation will award approximately 75 scholarships to outstanding students, to be known as Morris K. Udall scholars, in the spring for use during the next academic year. The awards will be made on the basis of merit to two groups of students: 1. Those who are college sophomores or juniors in the current academic year, have outstanding potential, and are in fields related to the environment; and 2. Native American and Alaskan Native students who are college sophomores or juniors in the current academic year, have outstanding potential, and are in fields related to health care or tribal public policy. Two-year and four-year institutions are eligible to nominate up to a total of six students from either or both categories, although it is recommended that the total be equally divided between them. To be considered, a student must be nominated by his or her college or university using the official nomination materials provided to each institution. Each scholarship covers eligible expenses for tuition, fees, books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $5,000. Scholarship recipients are eligible for one year of scholarship support. Scholarship monies not used during one academic year are not transferable to the succeeding academic year. Scholars selected during their sophomore year may be renominated during the next year's competition. Junior nominees may not be renominated. Freshmen are not eligible.
