The Udall Foundation, federal agency, awards 60 scholarships of up to $7,000 to college students of outstanding potential who are committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care. The meeting will describe the scholarship, application procedures and the process by which ISU will select candidates for endorsement.

Udall Scholarship winners represent a broad range of environmental fields, including policy, engineering, science, education, agriculture, urban planning and renewal, business, health, justice, and economics. The Foundation also seeks future Native American and Alaska Native leaders in public and community health care, tribal government, and public policy affecting Native American communities, including land and resource management, economic development, and education.

Udall applicants must have outstanding records of leadership relevant to the award and be completing the bachelor's degree between Spring 2018 and Summer 2019. Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA (though competitive candidates will likely have significantly higher GPAs), plan full-time study for the 2017-18 academic year and be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national or U.S. permanent resident. Only Native American and Alaska Native students may submit applications related to tribal public policy or health care, and must submit copies of relevant enrollment or descent documentation forms.

The meeting will describe the scholarship, application procedures and the process by which ISU will select candidates for endorsement. To be considered for nomination, students must submit a complete draft application to the University Honors Program office by 5:00 p.m., Monday, November 7.
