ARCS HISTORY

­The ARCS Foundation was founded by a group of women in 1958 in response to the Soviet launching of Sputnik. Its purpose was to address the need for the United States to reestablish its scientific and technological leadership. Investing in "science futures" was felt to be the most productive response to what was perceived as an educational crisis. ARCS continues today to push the boundaries of knowledge by providing scholarships in areas such as physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering and the medical sciences.

ARCS MISSION

The ARCS Foundation provides scholarships to academically outstanding United States citizens studying to complete their degrees in science, medicine and engineering, thereby contributing to the worldwide advancement of science and technology.
