The Morris K. Udall Foundation offers a number of scholarships of up to $5000 for sophomores or juniors who are committed to a career in an environmental field or Native Americans or Alaskans studying health care or tribal public policy. Carleton can nominate up to six individuals to be considered for the scholarships, and Carleton students have won several scholarships in the past. Students from any major are eligible as long as they can demonstrate a commitment to the environment or are Native Americans studying health care or tribal public policy, have maintained a "B" average, and are a US citizen or permanent alien. You need not demonstrate financial need for this scholarship.

There is a two-tiered application process for the Udall Scholarship. Students submit their completed application to the Udall Scholarship faculty adviser for review. The ENTS program will choose up to six of the strongest applications to send to the next stage at the Udall Foundation where final decisions are made. The Udall Foundation's materials refer to the first stage of department review as the "nomination process." This terminology has created confusion in the past. For the sake of clarity, no nomination is needed for students to fill out the application and submit it to the ENTS program; the nomination occurs after the application has been submitted.

All applicants must be officially nominated by Carleton College (application process site) before directly applying to the Udall Foundation. More information of the internal application process is available by contacting faculty adviser Kim Smith.

The Official Udall Web site features information on the scholarship as well as an online application.

Environment America

Environment America is a policy and action group with one mission: to build a greener, healthier world. We do all we can to move more campuses, cities and states toward 100% renewable energy, keep more fossil fuels in the ground, ban bee-killing pesticides, stop pollution of our air and water, and protect our public lands. In other words, we do it by putting our environment first. Our team of researchers, policy analysts, advocates, campaign staff, grassroots organizers and communications experts work hard to produce the research, public education and citizen action it takes to win real results for our environment right now. The policies Environment America has championed and won have resulted in more solar and wind power in 25 states, cleaner cars and power plants nationwide, and better protections for our rivers, streams, lakes and drinking water. With affiliates in 29 states, we run campaigns that not only raise awareness, but win results on the national stage, in states and cities, on the ballot and in the courtroom.

What We've Done (a few highlights)

Global Warming

• Mobilized tens of thousands of Americans behind Clean Car standards that will reduce global warming pollution by 270 million metric tons by 2030 — standards that are based on similar policies that we helped win in 14 states
• Co-chaired a coalition that delivered 8 million public comments to the Obama administration in support of the Clean Power Plan, paving the way for the biggest step any president has ever taken to address global warming
• Advocated for California’s Global Warming Solutions Act, the nation’s first economy-wide carbon cap and trade program, and defended the program against an oil industry attack by helping to defeat Prop. 23 in 2010

Clean Water

• Mobilized more than 800,000 people to support the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to protect America’s waterways by closing loopholes in the Clean Water Act
• Released our report ranking major water polluters, “Corporate Agribusiness and the Fouling of America's Waterways,” which found that polluters dumped more than 250 million pounds of toxic pollutants into America’s waterways between 2010 and 2014
• Sued big polluters, including a subsidiary of GenOn Energy, for illegally dumping toxic pollution into Pennsylvania’s Conemaugh River

Clean Energy

• Spearheaded California’s Million Solar Roofs Initiative
• Won similar solar initiatives in Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Arizona and New Mexico
• Mobilized public opinion behind an extension of the wind power tax credit, a key driver of wind power development in the United States

Great Pond Foundation

Each year the Great Pond Foundation engages the services of high school and college interns to assist with the summer field program. In 2016 the Foundation has begun an extensive water sampling program at ten stations around the Pond. It is our goal not only to track the changes in water quality throughout the season, but also to compare them to benchmarks of Pond health established by the Massachusetts Estuaries Project. It is a very exciting season as we learn to deploy our new equipment, collect large amounts of data, and design a robust sampling regime. We also spend our time partnering with BiodiversityWorks to monitor and protect the beach nesting birds on the barrier beach and with the Martha’s Vineyard Shellfish Group to restore the oyster population in the Pond. It is through these partnerships that we broaden our impact as a foundation and really learn about what it takes to maintain a healthy pond ecosystem.

Citizen Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates

Welcome: U.S. undergraduates join us for a paid summer research experience that will change your entire perspective on what it means to be an international community scholar! Welcome to the website for the University of Central Florida’s Community GIS and Citizen Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site funded by National Science Foundation Award #1560015.  Our international REU Site is part of the UCF Department of Sociology and the UCF GIS Cluster Initiative at the second largest university in the United States. We are looking forward to hosting a group of at least 8 outstanding undergraduate students from across the country in summer 2018 in Belize and in Orlando, Florida.  We emphasize engaged, community-based research while also preparing students for future academic and non-academic careers in GIS, geospatial technologies, geography, sociology, geosciences, education, community development, public health, and land use planning.

Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center

Live, learn & teach in a community of over thirty skilled environmental educators and naturalists. Join the broader community of nearly 1000 alumni scattered across the globe serving as college professors, natural resource professionals, directors of nature centers and camps, school teachers, scientists, state and national park naturalists, writers, adventurers, and artists.

Each week you might teach six classes, participate in workshops/field trips/seminars covering education and natural history, serve as a liaison for a visiting group, go on an adventure with other naturalists, and more. Though the schedule will be filled, if you enjoy a little chaos and love the outdoors, Wolf Ridge might be worth looking into. For more information or to apply, contact Joe Walewski.

There are several naturalist positions. While all include teaching, working with school groups, and graduate coursework in both natural history studies and environmental education, each position also has a unique focus.
