All complete and eligible applications are reviewed by an independent selection committee of past Udall Fellows and PhDs in
the fields of environmental policy and/or environmental conflict resolution.
While scholarly excellence is of prime importance in selection of fellows, the Foundation is also seeking to identify
individuals who have a demonstrated commitment to environmental public policy and/or environmental conflict resolution, and
who have the potential to make a significant impact in the real world.
Fellows will be selected on the basis of:
-
Commitment to national environmental public policy or environmental conflict resolution, as demonstrated through
coursework, teaching experience, public and community service, field work, and career aspirations;
- Quality of the dissertation project: project design, feasibility, originality, and scholarly significance;
- Potential of applicant to make a significant contribution to the field;
- Scholarly excellence;
- The essay: quality of writing and critical analysis.
Cross or interdisciplinary projects are particularly welcome.
