ARCS Foundation

ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) Foundation advances science and technology in the United States by providing financial awards to academically outstanding students who are US citizens studying to complete degrees in science, engineering, math, technology, and medical research.

ARCS Foundation believes that support of STEM education is essential to U.S. economic growth, technological competitiveness, and continued global leadership. To address the country's need for new scientists and engineers, we fund prestigious ARCS Scholar Awards to help the country's brightest graduate and undergraduate students create new knowledge and innovative technologies.

• We have provided $142 million to more than 12,156 students selected by their universities for their outstanding potential to make a difference.
• Our 15 chapters partner with leading universities across the country, and we build industry partnerships to advance science in America.
• We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a solid reputation. Contributions are not subject to administrative fees by the organization nor by the universities that distribute ARCS Scholar Award funds
