What is the Mo's Policy Scholars Program?
Mo's Policy Scholars is a competitive 14-week paid mentorship program for 9 UArizona students (juniors & seniors only) who are interested in having an impact on environmental and Indigenous governance policy.
The program is inspired by the legacy of Arizona's longest serving Congressional leader, Morris K. "Mo" Udall.
What do Mo's Policy Scholars do?
If selected, you will be assigned your own mentor from the Udall Center’s pool of UArizona faculty research professionals, each of whom are experts in their field and have extensive research and publishing experience. This is a great opportunity to get real, professional academic experience in your field of study and in policy-adjacent research in general.
For 14 weeks during the fall semester you will earn a $1400 stipend to:
- Work approximately five hours per week as a program assistant with your mentor.
