2014-2015 HONOR ROLL V San Diego Chapter V JULY 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015Gifts received for awards to be made in the Academic Year 2015 – 2016
100% of each contribution is directed to the Scholar Award Fund.
ARCS Foundation provides a unique vehicle for supporting Scholars inscience, medicine, and engineering without incurring administrative over-head. Member dues and event underwriting cover all operating expenses,and members donate their time to provide most administrative services.
There are two ways to support ARCS Scholars studying to complete theirdegrees in science, medicine, and engineering. The first is to make anannual gift to the Scholar Award Fund. The entire amount is awardedwithin a year of receipt. The second way to support Scholars is through agift to the Endowment Fund. The principal continues to accrue interest inperpetuity; Scholar Awards are made from the interest.
I. Annual Gifts to the Scholar Award Fund Gifts to ARCS Foundation Scholar Award Fund support continuingand new Scholars at San Diego State University, The ScrippsResearch Institute, University of California, San Diego, andUniversity of San Diego. Gifts to the Scholar Award Fund may bemade by check, credit card, or through gifts of appreciatedsecurities. Gifts received during the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) areawarded at the beginning of the following academic year.
II. Gifts to ARCS Foundation Endowment Fund Gifts to ARCS Foundation Endowment build an investment fund, theearnings of which provide a permanent source of income essentialfor supporting a portion of the Award Fund in perpetuity.
