What is an ARCS Scholar Award?
Contribute a gift of any size toward an ARCS Scholar Award
Your gift in any amount will support our mission of advancing science. Each year, ARCS Seattle Chapter’s collective funding supports numerous ARCS Seattle Chapter Fellowship Awards at the UW and WSU.
Give a Named ARCS Scholar Award $22,500
Your gift funds one three-year Named ARCS Scholar (Fellowship) Award. ARCS offers a unique funding model which gives donors and scholars the option to connect and learn from one another during the three year fellowship term. Two donors may jointly fund an ARCS Scholar Award. ARCS Scholar awards (Fellowships) may be paid in full or annually over three years: $7,500 each year for three years.
ARCS Endowed Fellowships $200,000 WSU and $250,000 UW
Your gift will establish a Named Endowment at your university of choice to fund ARCS Scholar (Fellowship) Awards in perpetuity.
