Undergraduate scholarships for environment, Alaska Native / Native American public policy and health

In 2012, the Udall Foundation expects to award 80 scholarships of up to $5000 and 50 honorable mentions of $350 to sophomore and junior level college students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Alaska Native / Native American health care. The environmental scholarships are open for all majors with an interest in environmental issues; the tribal policy and health care scholarships are for Alaska Native / Native American students who are pursuing careers in tribal affairs and tribal health.

The Udall Foundation seeks future leaders for both scholarship opportunities from across a wide spectrum of fields, including public policy; engineering; natural, physical and social sciences; education; urban planning and renewal; business; health; justice; humanities; journalism and economics.

Up to six students can be nominated by UAF to apply. Nominated students will work with Dr. Chanda Meek and our local Udall Scholarship committee to submit their applications. For more information: www.udall.gov, and contact Dr. Meek in the Department of Political Science or Dr. Michael Koskey in the Department of Alaska Native Studies and Rural Development. The deadline to submit your pre-application to UAF is: January 27, 2012 but you must first meet with a representative.

AN INFORMATION SESSION WILL BE HELD IN WOOD CENTER CONFERENCE ROOM E/F AT 1PM ON NOVEMBER 17TH
