Hi Fletcher,  I'm hoping you can forward this to any graduate level students or faculty who meet the requirements for ARCS.  

 

Take care,  Cathie

 

Dear Colleagues:

Once again ARCS Scholarships (Achievement Rewards for College Scientists) are available for our master's and doctoral level students in the Sciences and Engineering. As you may be aware, the ARCS Scholarship requires a nomination by the student's faculty research mentor and an application by the student you are nominating.  ARCS scholarships awards are highly selective and based upon the excellence and achievements of the student applicants. 

If you are nominating more than one student, an acknowledgement of the fact you are nominating more than one student along with a relative ranking of the students you are nominating is also required. I encourage you to promote this opportunity for your masters and doctoral level students.  

This year we will have only 3 new scholarship openings (competition will be high) with 10 scholar renewals for a total of 13 supported scholarship awards $7,500.00 each.  Each selected scholar can be supported for up to 4 years pending continued outstanding progress toward their degree. Initial selection as an ARCS scholar is very competitive. 

Any questions after reviewing the information below can be directed to me but please use: "ARCS Scholarship Application" in the subject line.

The deadline for submission is August 8, 2014 at 4:00 PM.

Information for your students:  To apply, students should go to the ARCS Scholarship website which can be located by going to www.sdsu.edu/scholarship and clicking on the Achievement Rewards for College Scientists Foundation Award under "Scholarship News" on the right column. 

Criteria for Consideration includes:

·      *  Major or study in an ARCS supported science (all science majors except psychology) or engineering (all majors) discipline

·       * Enrollment as a full time student in a master’s or doctoral level program

·       * United States Citizen

·       *Personal Statement Essay: Submit an essay of about 500 words that describes what encouraged you to pursue your area of study. Please include your specific research accomplishments during this academic year and what you plan to be doing professionally in ten years.
