As America marks 250 years of ingenuity, ARCS Atlanta extends its legacy by honoring both service to country and service to humanity through science. Since 1992, the chapter has awarded over $8.6 million in Scholar Awards for 1286 individual scholar awards - impacting 636 individual scholars. This year's 53 scholars represent the next generation of innovators, researchers and problem-solvers from Emory, Georgia Tech, The University of Georgia and Morehouse College who are conducting research with the potential to change lives. With UGA as our featured academic partner at the 2026 Scholar Awards Celebration, we welcome Dr. Jere Morehead, President of University of Georgia, and Fred Burke, CEO and Co-Founder of Guardian Pharmaceutical Services, as our keynote speakers. Join us for ARCS Atlanta’s signature event of the year.
