The Udall Scholarship Program honors the public service legacies of Morris K. Udall, Congressman from Arizona (1961-1991), and Stewart L. Udall, Secretary of the Interior (1961-1969). The scholarship covers eligible expenses for tuition, fees, books, and room and board, up to a maximum of $7,000. Juniors are eligible for one year of support; sophomores may be renominated during their junior year and compete for a second year of support. Approximately 50 scholarships are awarded each year and 50 Honorable Mentions.
