San Diego ARCS Scholar Comment
San Diego ARCS Scholar Comment
"Through my long (and sometime circuitous) educational path of earning my Ph.D. and now my M.D., I have heard of many scholarship programs, but none so generous as yours..... Receiving this award provides me with a huge external affirmation that lets me know my hard work is recognized..... Just taking a few moments to talk with several other Scholars about their work, I was amazed by the breadth of scientific studies that your foundation supports. It is clear that many of these research projects will have a direct impact on the health of individuals, our quality of life, and on the well-being of our planet. I commend your group for its vision and its mission."

The ARCS scholarship program has been a critical factor for my success in graduate school at Northwestern University. Not only did the program provide financial aid for me to continue my studies, but it also allowed me to interact with a diverse group of scientists and nonscientists several times a year. These interactions have allowed me to keep up with cutting edge research outside of my field of study and have provided enormous insight into my own work. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the program, I have also learned how to effectively communicate my results so that anyone from any field can understand what I am doing, an invaluable skill for any budding scientist. After I graduate from Northwestern, I plan on continuing my career in research by studying immunology in a postdoctoral position. I know that I will be able to take the experiences and lessons I’ve learned in the ARCS scholarship program and apply it to my next job, as well as the rest of my career as a scientist.
