Abstract: This voluntary anonymous survey collects information from Udall Foundation Scholarship, Internship, and Fellowship alumni
to gather feedback from them on potential agency changes to the formulation of its eligibility criteria for certain Native
American and Alaska Native award categories in the future. The survey will gather specific feedback from the alumni about
their participation in the Scholarship, Internship, and/or Graduate Fellowship Programs after their award year has concluded;
feedback related to the potential agency changes to eligibility criteria for Native American and Alaska Native programming;
and feedback related to whether and how their level of participation in and support of the Scholarship, Internship, and Graduate
Fellowship Programs is likely to change if the eligibility criteria are updated as proposed. This survey is a primary means
by which the Udall Foundation will receive and evaluate such feedback from program alumni. It is not anticipated that the
survey will be administered more than one time, which will be in the first quarter of calendar year 2025. (20 U.S.C. 5601-5609)
