ARCS
Foundation, Seattle Chapter
ARCS is a group dedicated to raising money for graduate fellowships in science, medicine and engineering. The Seattle chapter is one of 12 nationwide, and is among the most successful. It has been supporting UW graduate students since 1978, and today is the University’s single largest annual donor. In 2001, it provided $754,097 in fellowships for 117 graduate students. Altogether, it has given just less than $5 million to 415 graduate students.
ARCS Fellowships are used as a recruiting tool to attract the nation’s most outstanding young scholars to pursue graduate studies at the UW. The fellowships support grad students in more than 30 academic departments and interdisciplinary programs. Past ARCS Fellows have conducted research on such things as antibiotic resistance in infectious diseases, air quality monitoring with satellite imagery, alternative modes of space propulsion and the impact of environmental change on local salmon populations.
In addition to fellowships given from regular donations, ARCS has established five endowed fellowships at the UW, also for graduate students.
UW Recognition Award
The UW Recognition Award is usually given to persons whose major contributions of unique services and efforts have had an impact on the University and the community. This year, however, the award is being given not to a person, but to an organization, the Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Foundation (ARCS).
