WHO SUPPORTS THE ARCS FOUNDATION AND HOW?

For those corporations, foundations, civic groups, and individuals concerned with our nation's advancement in the sciences, ARCS Foundation chapters provide a unique and cost-effective vehicle for channeling dollars into education without deductions for administrative overhead.   When a gift is made to the ARCS Foundation scholarship fund, one hundred percent of each contribution is awarded to a student. All operating expenses are covered by member dues and special underwriting, and all ARCS Foundation members donate their services.
