A Seattle Chapter ARCS Foundation Fellowship is an opportunity to contribute to America’s scientific and economic future by supporting the best and brightest of our nation’s science and engineering graduate students, whose rigorous academic endeavors and cutting-edge research are opening pathways to scientific discoveries that will benefit our state, our nation and our world.
The CSE department receives a number of ARCS Fellowships each year, and these awards are used for recruiting prospective graduate students. The Graduate Admissions Committee determines recipients.
