About Us

ARCS (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) Foundation is a national volunteer women's organization dedicated to advancing 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 Oregon Chapter’s incorporation in 2004, over 300 scholars have received scholar awards. Private donations from members, friends, corporations, and foundations have enabled our chapter to donate over $5 million to PhD students studying at Oregon Health & Science University, Oregon State University and the University of Oregon.
