The initial funding for the Chase Scholarships will be provided by members of the Chase Family, who have pledged $1.3 Million dollars to the fund these scholarships. The Chase Family recognizes the need to educate our youth and provide educational opportunities to improve the quality of life for future generations. This opportunity will afford students additional resources to pursue a college education with the goal of obtaining a college degree. The mission of this scholarship program is to increase student graduation rates, provide student resources, establish partnership programs with higher education institutions, provide family affordable college and to provide continual encouragement and support for students throughout their education process. The Chase Family is very intent in their desire to see youth expand their educational opportunities and graduate with a college degree.

Additionally, the Chase Scholarship Fund has partnered with a number of New Mexico and West Texas colleges and universities to provide matching scholarship funds for those students receiving the Chase Scholarship. The educational institutions participating in the scholarship matching program include: University of New Mexico, New Mexico State, NMSU-C, Eastern New Mexico University, South Plains College, College of the Southwest, New Mexico Tech, Western New Mexico University, New Mexico Military Institute, Lubbock Christian University, ENMU-R, Wayland Baptist University, Texas Tech, New Mexico Junior College, Angelo State, McMurry University, University of Texas Permian and New Mexico Highlands to provide additional funding for students receiving the Chase Foundation scholarships.

The significance of this program is the ability for eligible students to attend a New Mexico college or university and have a significant portion of their college education paid for through the Chase Scholarship, New Mexico Lottery and matching funds through New Mexico colleges and universities. These partnerships will strengthen the ability of students to obtain their educational degree. Scholarships will also be available to students attending colleges outside the State of New Mexico.
