A New Chapter Means More Answers, More Ideas, More Cures
It’s the urge to find answers that brings students to science and members to ARCS® Foundation.
ARCS Foundation exists to advance our nation’s competitiveness by strengthening the United States’ capacity for scientific and technological innovation. America’s next generation of scientists will be responsible for the innovative products, techniques and medical breakthroughs that together will advance science and technology in America and contribute to a better quality of life globally. Supporting these emerging scientists in their work is the reason to begin a new ARCS Foundation Chapter; every new Chapter assists additional students at an additional university.
Yesterday’s visionary women created ARCS Foundation, and today’s visionary women continue to create new Chapters. They make measureable impacts on the advancement of science and technology in America and around the world through the support of students at U.S. universities.
The starting point for a new Chapter is identifying a local university that meets ARCS Foundation eligibility standards. One or more individuals — from the community or university staff — can begin the process.
