“Success is seldom a one-person effort. Thanks to the vision and generosity of the ARCS Foundation, thousands of our country's top undergraduate and graduate students have the resources they need to excel academically and then work in their sponsored fields, launching start-up companies, devising new technologies, and expanding our knowledge. Since 1992, Georgia Tech’s ARCS Scholars have been the recipients of more than $2.2 million from the ARCS Atlanta Chapter. Along with the student scholars, we offer our gratitude to the ARCS Foundation Atlanta Chapter, whose transformative philanthropy continues to enable our very best graduate students to realize their great potential.”

Angel Cabrera
President, Georgia Institute of Technology

“ARCS scholar awards have supported the scholarly efforts of over 140 high achieving science and mathematics majors at Morehouse for over 30 years. It is an honor that each year one student will receive the prestigious Glenn Morehouse Leadership Award, recognizing both outstanding scholarship and demonstrated leadership skills. Building future leaders of the country is an important goal of the college. Through its support for both undergraduate and graduate students who aspire to careers in science or mathematics, ARCS Foundation is making a major contribution to increasing the number of American citizens who pursue careers in STEM. And, for that we are truly grateful.”

David A. Thomas
President, Morehouse College

"The University of Georgia is pleased to be a recipient of ARCS Foundation support for graduate students in the biomedical and health sciences. These prestigious awards not only provide significant and flexible direct financial support to the award winners during their training period, but also create invaluable life-long connections to the ARCS Foundation membership."
