The Faculty Representative.
Students are nominated by their college or university’s faculty representative, who is the liaison between the institution and
the Foundation. Each university may nominate up to six candidates for the Udall Scholarship. The Udall FacRep oversees the
selection of the institution’s nominees, helps nominees prepare for the competition, and submits the nomination materials to
the Foundation so that they are received by March 3, 2009.
The Nomination Materials.
The following items are required for each nominee:
- A completed, signed Udall Scholarship Application;
- An 800-word essay;
- A current official college transcript and transcripts for other colleges attended;
- Three letters of recommendation.
Native American and Alaska Native nominees in tribal public policy or health care must submit copies of relevant enrollment
forms or descent documentation (for more information, see our
Frequently Asked Questions). Members of the First Nations of Canada must
submit proof of U.S. permanent residency. U.S. permanent residents must submit a copy of their permanent resident ("green")
card and a letter of intent to declare U.S. citizenship (First Nations members excepted).
Nomination and application information must be submitted on forms from the Foundation's website or on photocopies of these forms.
Recreated forms and attachments of additional information will not be accepted. The application and essay must
be typed or word-processed; handwritten applications will not be accepted.
