Together, we can create a legacy for the future of our nation with scientific accomplishments that are yet to be achieved.
A new cure for a disease or an innovative new technology is always a big story, but what’s rarely reported is the critical work that led to those discoveries - basic research. In recent years, our government has steadily reduced its support for basic research at U.S. colleges and universities. This is where ARCS Foundation steps in to fill the gap.
ARCS Foundation is a national organization dedicated to supporting the best and brightest U.S. scholars by providing financial awards in science, engineering and medical research.
