Majors represented by Udall Scholars include, but are not limited to: environmental science/studies/engineering, agriculture, biology and other natural sciences, natural resource management, political science, sociology, anthropology, geography, cultural studies, American Indian studies, philosophy, tribal policy, economic development, history, English, theater, ecology, landscape architecture, and public health.
 
Established by the U. S. Congress in 1992 to honor Congressman Morris King Udall and his legacy of public service, the Morris K. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation operates an educational scholarship program designed to provide opportunities for outstanding U. S. students with excellent academic records in fields related to the environment, Native American healthcare, or tribal public policy.
 
Congressman Udall’s career was distinguished by civility, integrity, and consensus. Consistent with these values, the Udall Foundation is committed to increasing awareness of the importance of the nation’s natural resources, and to training Native Americans and Alaska Natives in the areas of health care and tribal public policy.
