Scholarships & Fellowships

Wellesley Students also compete for national environmentally related fellowships and scholarships including:

The Morris K. Udall National Scholarship

This scholarship is open to college sophomores or juniors either who study the environment and related fields or who are Native American or Alaskan Natives who plan to study in fields related to health care or tribal public policy. The scholarship provides up to $5000, and students attend a four-day Orientation in Arizona at the organization’s expense.

The application and interview process for Wellesley nomination for this scholarship generally takes place in January or February. For nominated students the full application is due to the Udall Foundation in early March. Contact the Center for Work and Service for more information.
