Udall Scholarship Information Sessions & Workshop

Are you a passionate environmentalist? Or are you a Native American student committed to improving tribal policy or health care?

If so, the Udall Scholarship is for you!

Eligibility 1) Sophomores and juniors who are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or U.S. permanent residents and who are committed to a career focused on the environment AND 2) Native American sophomores and juniors who are interested in tribal policy and health care are eligible to apply.

The Udall awards $7,000 to sophomores or juniors who are taking action to address environmental concerns and plan on a career related to the environment. There is also a special award for Native American students with a passion for tribal policy or health care (no need to be related to the environment). A successful applicant will have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and demonstrate leadership and a commitment to service. The University of Illinois may nominate up to six students for the Udall Scholarship.
