Support Minnesota Graduate Students in STEM Fields

It was a thrill this fall to be a part of the Minnesota Chapter of ARCS Scholar Award Ceremony for 6 top graduate students from the University of Minnesota. As I listened to the students introduce themselves to us, I realized that they represent the future advances that will improve the lives of people all over the world. The opportunity to support these promising students is why I joined ARCS.

What would the world be like without people to care and help others in their time of need?

Some situations take us beyond our circle of family and friends and into the realm of relying on strangers to provide guidance and support. This arena is where ARCS Foundation Scholar Award recipients and alumni shine through, benefiting humanity on a national and global scale through technological innovations, educational opportunities, financial support, medical advancements—and in many other ways.

For example, there are countless ARCS Scholars and Alumni who stepped up to the plate in 2020 to develop new technologies, design computer algorithms, and research new therapeutics for COVID-19.

Today ARCS scholars’ contributions are making a difference across the globe. These men and women are leaders in their fields, in part due to the assistance of ARCS Foundation’s generous league of supporters.

 Please join me in providing funding to these promising young students and others like them.
