ARCS Foundation advances science and technology in the U.S. by providing financial awards to U.S. citizens who are studying to complete degrees in science, engineering, math, technology, and medical research.
For over 30 years, ARCS Foundation has been FUNDING STEM SCHOLARS WHO WILL CHANGE THE WORLD. ARCS Scholars are selected by their schools for their academic excellence without regard to race, creed or gender.
Since 1992, ARCS Atlanta has awarded over $7.5 million for more than 1,180 individual Scholar Awards to students at Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Morehouse College, and University of Georgia.
