  • Native American Health Care: Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to Native American health care, including health care administration, social work, medicine, dentistry, counseling, and research into health conditions affecting Native American communities, and other related fields;
  • Tribal Public Policy: Native American and Alaska Native students who have demonstrated commitment to careers related to tribal public policy, including fields related to tribal sovereignty, tribal governance, tribal law, Native American education, Native American justice, natural resource management, cultural preservation and revitalization, Native American economic development, and other areas affecting Native American communities.

Many resources on eligibility requirements, application tips, application instructions, and the selection of Scholars are available on this website. Please also read our general FAQ and Faculty Representative FAQ.

Online Application
The online application for the Udall Scholarship will be available October 1, 2010. All 2011 candidates must apply using the online system; the Foundation will not accept paper applications. The faculty representative controls access to the online application; students cannot access the application unless you register them on our website at http://facultyreps.udall.gov. A sample application is available for reference only.

Registering Students
Beginning October 1, faculty representatives will be invited to register their students for the online application at http://facultyreps.udall.gov. You must register a student in order to give them access to the online application system. You may register students at any time between October 1 and February 25, 2011 . When you have registered a student, he or she will receive an email with a link to the online application and a username and password. You may register as many students as you wish, and you and your students may use the online system for your campus's internal selection process. However, you may submit only six nominations to the Foundation.

Submitting Nominations
All 2011 materials, including the application, letters, transcript(s), and tribal or permanent resident verification, must be submitted electronically using the online application system. The nomination deadline is March 2, 2011.

If you have questions about the online registration and application process, please contact Senior Program Manager Jane Curlin.
