> > ARCS Foundation Scholarships
The ARCSŪ Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to helping meet our country's needs for scientists and engineers by providing scholarships to academically outstanding students to help them complete their higher education.
The ARCS Foundation, Inc. was founded in Los Angeles in 1958, and recognizes that America's future rests with the young men and women who will invent answers to the scientific and technological challenges we face today.
Since its inception, ARCS has given more than $30 million to 8,000 of the brightest students in natural science, medicine, and engineering in more than forty schools.
The Atlanta Chapter of ARCS was chartered in 1992 and has more than one hundred members. They have given scholarships to students from Emory University, Georgia Tech, Morehouse College, and the University of Georgia. In addition to its fundraising efforts, the Atlanta Chapter conducts a program of education in scientific issues for its members.
Scholarship recipients must be United States citizens, have high scholastic standing, demonstrate financial need, and express the goal of making a contribution to their community and society in general. Scholars are selected by the recipient schools without regard to race, gender, or religious preference. Former scholars head major corporations, contribute significant research in a variety of fields, and help keep America competitive in the world of science and technology.

College of Computing
Georgia Tech established the College of Computing in 1990, one of several college-level computing units at a major U. S. research university. In naming the new College, it was essential to indicate that our interest would be in computing, not just the discipline of computer science. Our educational and research activities collaborate with many other disciplines in order to push the frontiers of computing throughout the Institute.
Currently, the College is comprised of 82 academic faculty, 31 research and eight instructional faculty, two postdoctoral fellows, 56 technical and support staff, six administrative staff, 254 Ph.D. students, 226 M.S. students, and 965 undergraduate students (based on fall 2005 enrollments). The latest U.S. News & World Report ranks our program 12th nationally. In specialty areas, Graphics/User Interaction is fourth and Databases is seventh.

School of Industrial and Systems Engineering
The School of Industrial and Systems Engineering is the largest industrial engineering (or similarly named) program in the United States, with more than 1200 undergraduates and nearly 450 graduate students. The next largest program is not even half as large. The School is consistently ranked as one of the nation's premier programs. Sixty full-time academic faculty members direct academic and research activities in virtually every field of modern industrial and systems engineering.

Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering was the first degree-granting program established at Georgia Tech. On September 20, 1985, the School of Mechanical Engineering celebrated its centennial by assuming the name of one of its most distinguished alumni, Atlanta businessman and philanthropist, George W. Woodruff (Class of 1917). Today, the Woodruff School offers programs in mechanical engineering, nuclear and radiological engineering, medical physics, bioengineering, and paper science. The graduate program in mechanical engineering is ranked seventh in the nation. The enrollment includes 1675 undergraduates and 696 graduate students. Studies are directed by a full-time faculty of 82 professors, 22 research faculty, and five academic professionals, who are supported by 44 staff members.
