ARCS Scholars are appointed each summer and are primarily based on need, with a priority towards graduate student parents. Interested candidates should submit a completed <a href="https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/eL8a7q0cz6rM6adj">application form</a> to the Graduate Office (<a href="mailto:gradofc@caltech.edu">gradofc@caltech.edu</a>). All applications will be reviewed by at least two members of the Graduate Office. Although ARCS scholarships are primarily need-based, applicants must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress towards their degree. ARCS prefers to fund scholars up to three years, but current scholars will be expected to re-verify need and academic progress each year. Applications will be accepted from October 1 through June 30, for awards commencing in the fall. Selected candidates will be notified in the preceding summer for scholarships payable in three installments in fall, winter and spring terms. ARCS Foundation neither solicits nor accepts applications from potential ARCS Scholars. ARCS Scholars must meet the following criteria to be eligible for funding:</p><ul><li>be a United States citizen;</li><li>be enrolled in a full-time degree-granting program, majoring in fields of science, engineering or medical research; and</li><li>have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.</li></ul><p>ARCS Foundation Chapters fund ARCS Scholars through their academic partners, and each ARCS Scholar enters into an agreement with the funding Chapter prior to receiving a scholar award. Please note that scholar awards are not made to post-doctorate fellows or to post-graduate early career researchers.</p><p>For further information on ARCS Scholar selection and funding procedures, please contact the Graduate Office (<a href="mailto:gradofc@caltech.edu">gradofc@caltech.edu</a>).</p></div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="block-AirspaceSpacerBlock"> <div class="spacer spacer--50"></div> </section> </main> <footer class="width-1440-container footer-container"> <div class="footer d-flex flex-column flex-wrap flex-sm-row justify-content-sm-between"> <div class="footer__torch-box"></div> <img alt="" class="footer__torch" src="/static/theme-v7.0/img/flame.png"> <div class="footer__left"> <img alt="Caltech" class="footer__left__caltech-wordmark" src="/static/core/img/caltech-new-logo.png"> <div class="footer__left__caltech-title">California Institute of Technology</div> </div> <div class="footer__right"> <img class="footer__right__map-marker" src="/static/theme-v7.0/img/icon-footerpin.png" alt=""> <div class="footer__right__contact-info-row">1200 East California Boulevard</div> <div class="footer__right__contact-info-row">Pasadena, California 91125</div> </div> <nav class="footer__menu w-100 d-flex flex-wrap justify-content-center" aria-label="Footer"> <a class="footer__menu__link" href="https://www.caltech.edu/digital-accessibility">Digital Accessibility</a> <span class="footer__menu__separator">|</span> <a class="footer__menu__link" href="https://www.caltech.edu/privacy-notice">Privacy Notice</a> <span class="footer__menu__separator">|</span> <span class="footer__menu__link">Site Content Copyright © 2025</span> <span class="footer__menu__separator">|</span> <a class="footer__menu__link footer__menu__link--login" href="/admin/login/">Log In</a> </nav> </div> </footer> <script src="/static/theme-v7.0/js/anchor.js"></script> <script> anchors.options = { icon: '#', visible: 'hover', titleText: 'Right-click here and choose "Copy Link" to get a link to this part of the page.', } anchors.add('.rich-text h1, .rich-text h2, .rich-text h3, .rich-text h4, .rich-text h5, .rich-text h6, .heading-block'); </script> </body> </html>
