Partners Since Sputnik: The Story of Caltech and the ARCS Foundation
March 04, 2025
The ARCS Foundation was incorporated in 1958 and made its first grant to Caltech, which awarded the support to Joseph Fineman (BS '58), a physics major.
ARCS Scholars, chosen by university partners based on criteria established by the foundation, receive a financial award and join a national network of award recipients. More than 580 Caltech students, including nine in the current academic year, have been named ARCS Scholars since the program's founding.
