The campus seeks to nominate sophomores and juniors for the prestigious Udall Scholarship. The Udall awards $7,000 to sophomores or juniors who are taking action to address environmental concerns and are committed to a career related to the environment. Students must be US citizens, US nationals, or US permanent residents. 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. The campus deadline is January 29, 2024 to be considered. If you are interested in applying, please plan to attend our Udall sessions. On Thursday Nov. 9, 2023 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. there will be an information session and discussion with a former Udall Scholar and on Friday Nov. 10th from 3:00-4:00 is a workshop on how to craft a Udall Application. These sessions are being held in 514 IUB.
Please note that there are also Udall awards for Native American students interested in tribal policy or health care (no need to be related to the environment).*
