AmericanScholarship - Update on Scholarships in America

Students are nominated by their college or university’s faculty
representative, who is the liaison between the institution and the
Foundation. Each university may nominate up to six candidates for the
Udall Scholarship. The Udall FacRep oversees the selection of the
institution’s nominees, helps nominees prepare for the competition, and
submits the nomination materials to the Foundation by the specified
deadline.

In 2007, the Foundation expects to award 80 scholarships of up to
$5,000 and 50 honorable mentions on the basis of merit to sophomore and
junior level college students. Scholarships are offered in any of three
categories:

• To students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to the
  environment; or
• To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated
  commitment to careers related to tribal public policy; or
• To Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated
  commitment to careers related to Native health care.

The Udall Foundation seeks future leaders across a wide spectrum of
environmental fields, including policy, engineering, science,
education, 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.
