All funds raised at this event will go towards financial awards to support ARCS Scholars who make outstanding contributions to advance science and keep America competitive on the global stage, which is the ARCS mission.

As indicated by its name – Achievement Rewards for College Scientists – ARCS provides financial awards to promising graduate students who are pursuing degrees in science, engineering and medical research. Since its inception in 1985, the San Diego Chapter of ARCS has given more than $11.3 million to support graduate students at four local institutions: UC San Diego, SDSU, USD, and Scripps Research.
