2020-21 ARCS Named Scholar Award Donors
Each Named Scholar Award of $18,000 funds one graduate student over a three-year period. Named Scholar Awards are created by Oregon members and community members who understand the importance these awards make in recruiting and supporting world-class students at OHSU, Oregon State University or the University of Oregon. Sponsoring a Named Scholar Award gives the donor the unique opportunity to engage with the scholar.
In addition, every member in the Oregon Chapter contributes a minimum of $500 each year to the Scholar Award Fund, and these contributions combine to fund our ARCS Oregon Chapter Scholar Awards.
ARCS Foundation Oregon is honored to acknowledge these generous Scholar Award Donors for the academic year 2020-2021.
