Udall internships, scholarships, fellowships

The U.S. Congress established the Udall Foundation as an independent executive branch agency in 1992 to honor Morris K. Udall's 30 years of service in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 2009, Congress enacted legislation to honor Stewart L. Udall and add his name to the Foundation. It is now known as the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation. As set forth in the founding legislation, the purposes of the Foundation are to:

• Increase the awareness of the importance of, and promote the benefit and enjoyment of, the nation's natural resources;
• Foster a greater recognition and understanding of the role of the environment, public lands and resources in the development of the United States;
• Identify critical environmental issues;
• Develop resources to train professionals properly in environmental and related fields;
• Provide educational outreach regarding environmental policy;
• Develop resources to train Native American and Alaska Native professionals in health care and public policy;
• Through the U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution, provide assessment, mediation, and other related services to resolve environmental disputes involving federal agencies.

The Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation is one of five federal foundations established by Congress. The other four federal foundations include the Christopher Columbus Foundation, Barry M. Goldwater Foundation, James Madison Foundation, and the Harry S. Truman Foundation.
