ARCS FOUNDATION ATLANTA CHAPTER
®
ARCS Foundation advances science and technology in the United States by
providing financial awards to academically outstanding U.S. citizens studying
to complete degrees in science, engineering and medical research. Since
its founding in 1958, ARCS Foundation has provided nearly 20,000 scholar
awards totaling over $125 million. We have approximately 1,200 members in
15 chapters across the United States.
ARCS Foundation's principles and practices have remained consistent since
our founding in 1958:
• 100% of award contributions go directly to fund scholars.
• Recipient schools are qualified through rigorous eligibility requirements.
• Schools select scholars based on academic achievement without regard
for race, creed, or gender.
• Scholars are U.S. citizens and students of high achievement in the
basic sciences.
• ARCS Foundation scholar awards funds are raised and distributed locally.
• ARCS Foundation is an all-women volunteer organization.

ARCS Foundation Atlanta Chapter was founded in 1992. The vision of ARCS
Foundation Atlanta Chapter is to fund stem scholars who will change the
world. Our support of each scholar is an expression of our belief that each
scholar holds the promise of a better future. ARCS Awards are unrestricted,
and these funds enable our scholars to conduct research that has the potential
to solve the challenges of today. This is the opportunity that ARCS Foundation
offers to our donors, the opportunity to change the world.

During our 30-year history, we have provided over $7 million for over
1,000 individual scholar awards. The 2022 ARCS Atlanta Scholar Awards
total $390,000 and will go to 52 scholars at Emory University, Georgia
Institute of Technology, Morehouse College, and University of Georgia. These
scholars are among our country’s best and brightest in the fields of science,
engineering, and medical research.

Successful funding of our scholars is made possible due to the generosity
of our donors and volunteers. Many thanks for your support over the last
30 years.

President, ARCS Foundation Atlanta Chapter
