Foundation seeks future leaders across a wide spectrum of environmental

and renewal, business, health, justice, and economics. The Foundation
regularly awards 80 scholarships and 50 honorable mentions on the basis of
merit to sophomore and junior level college students who have demonstrated
commitment to careers related to the environment. Udall Scholars take part
in a four-day Orientation in Tucson, Arizona where they meet with other
Scholars, elected officials and environmental leaders. Scholars also gain
access to a network of environmental policy professionals through the
Udall Alumni listserv. Because contributions to the environment can be
made in many different ways, Udall Scholars represent a broad range of
academic majors and career interests. Recent Udall Scholars have majored
in environmental sciences and policy studies, agriculture, political
science, natural resource management, sociology, anthropology, American
Indian studies, tribal public policy, history, English, theater, landscape
architecture, and public health, to name just a few areas.
