Named Scholars are created by donors who understand the difference multi-year awards can make in recruiting and supporting world-class graduate students. These donors each contribute to fund and name an award. A Named Scholar Award also provides a donor with a unique opportunity to engage with an individual ARCS Scholar and to support his or her research.
