Why Give?

A gift to ARCS^® Foundation is an opportunity to contribute to America’s scientific and economic future by supporting the best of our nation’s science, engineering, and medical research graduate students. For corporations, foundations and individuals, ARCS Foundation provides a unique and cost-effective method to provide direct support for the most promising scholars. ARCS Foundation Utah has selected the University of Utah College of Engineering to be the initial college to receive Scholar Award funds for their brightest PhD students.

When making a contribution to the ARCS Foundation Scholar Award Fund, it is good to know that 100 percent of each contribution is awarded to a student without deductions for administrative overhead. 

How Does Giving Help Utah?

Utah Chapter’s ARCS Foundation scholar awards provide an essential tool for recruiting the best scholars in the nation to come to Utah to study. By strengthening the scientific, engineering, and medical research programs in our state universities, ARCS Foundation Scholars make a significant contribution to Utah's economy. Through networking opportunities and corporate mentorships, ARCS Foundation Scholars are encouraged to remain in Utah after they receive their PhD degrees, thereby helping to strengthen the state’s technological and innovative capacity.
