Dr. Laura Damuth will be hosting an information session about Truman and Udall Scholarships. Learn about these two service-oriented awards!

The Udall Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for college sophomores and juniors pursuing studies leading to a career in tribal health, tribal public policy, or the environment. Candidates should be working towards positive solutions to environmental challenges or to issues impacting Indian country; have demonstrated their commitment to one of these areas through public service; show leadership that inspires and motivates others to take action; and be committed to making a difference through civility and consensus building.

The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation - the federal memorial to our thirty-third President awards merit-based scholarships to college students who plan to pursue careers in government or elsewhere in public service. Truman Scholars receive up to $30,000 for graduate or professional school, participate in leadership development activities, and have special opportunities for internships and employment with the federal government.
