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 conscientious, dependable, and forward-focused lifelong learners, 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. There we present the Phoenix Chapter Scholars from Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and The 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 15 ARCS Foundation Chapters nationwide. Learn more about our membership benefits and the membership process.
