ARCS Foundation Phoenix Chapter brings together women with diverse backgrounds in business, education, healthcare, and community leadership. Enthusiastic members combine their interests and efforts to achieve a strong contribution to the advancement of graduate level scientific education in the state of Arizona.

If you enjoy the company of dynamic women who are life long learners, conscientious, dependable, and forward focused; then sharing your time, talents, and treasures with the Phoenix Chapter will be an immensely rewarding experience.  

We cordially invite you to attend our annual ARCS Scholar Awards Dinner held in April where we present the Phoenix Chapter scholars from Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and University of Arizona. Once you see the ARCS mission come alive on stage, there is no question that you will be inspired to join one of our 16 ARCS Foundation Chapters nationwide.
