The Udall Foundation is pleased to announce our 2014 internship and scholarship program
opportunities for American Indian and Alaska Native students.
The
Native American Congressional Internship program is a
fully-funded, ten-week summer internship in Washington, DC, for American
Indian and Alaska Native undergraduate, graduate and law students.
Interns work in congressional and agency offices where they
have opportunities to research legislative issues important to tribal
communities, network with public officials and experience an insider’s
view of the federal government. The Foundation provides airfare,
housing, per diem, and a $1,200 educational stipend.
The application deadline is January 31, 2014.
The
Udall Scholarship program awards $5,000 merit-based
scholarships for college sophomores and juniors seeking a career in
tribal health, tribal public policy, or the environment. Two- and
four-year college students are encouraged to apply. Scholars
participate in a five-day Orientation in Tucson, AZ, to learn from and
network with experts, their peers, and members of the Udall family. The
award includes life-time membership in the Udall alumni community, a
vibrant community offering job and internship
opportunities, support for public service initiatives, and intellectual
discussion. Applications must be submitted through a Udall faculty
representative at the student's college or university. The application
deadline is
March 5, 2014.
We encourage you to visit our website at
www.udall.gov.
We will offer several webinars for applicants of both programs during
the week of December
2, 2013. If you don’t find the webinar registration information on our
website, please call and ask. I am eager to hear from interested
students and faculty directly by email or phone.

Best,
