The year 2013 yielded a smaller list of Udall Scholars than in the past, only 50 nationwide, versus 80 awarded in previous years.  The University of New Mexico led all universities, public and private, by winning three scholarships this year.

Udall scholarships valued at up to $5,000  are awarded to sophomore and junior level college students committed to careers related to the environment, tribal public policy, or Native American health care. Many of the awards are for environmental research.

The universities of Arizona, California Berkeley, Georgia, and Minnesota each had two student Udall winners in 2013.

During the past two years, the University of Arizona and the University of Georgia have seen five students earn Udall awards, leading all public universities.
