Take note of the Morris Udall Foundation Scholarship for Environmental Policy/Studies/Science Competition. Information is on-line at: http://www.udall.gov/udall.asp?link=200 . This is an excellent opportunity for an IU student interested in environmental studies/policy/science to receive recognition both monetary and honors.
Here's a few facts about the scholarship:
1. It is a national competition open to all U.S. citizens who are current sophomores or junior undergraduates.
2. It's purpose is to encourage greater involvement in environmental policy/science activities by today's young leaders.
3. 80 current sophomore or junior undergraduates are awarded merit-based scholarships of up to $5,000 (50 additional students receive honorable mention awards)
4. Each university can nominate up to six students for these scholarships which can be used for tuition, books, and room and board.
PLEASE NOTE (THIS IS IMPORTANT): Student nominees need not be environmental studies or science majors. The key requirement is a demonstrated interest in environmental issues, particular policy issues. Representative major have included political science, chemistry, biology, sociology, anthropology, public policy, and of course environmental studies.

Students cannot directly submit their applications, but rather must submit their application, along with an "official" transcript to the campus faculty representative. See the website for details. The deadline for internal submission is February 18, 2008. Awards will be announced April 8, 2008.
