ScholarCHIPS Celebrates 15 Years of Expanding Opportunity for Children of Incarcerated Parents With Support From Securus Technologies
Largest and most geographically diverse class of scholars reflects growing awareness and access among families impacted by incarceration
Fifteen years ago, ScholarCHIPS was founded on a simple belief: a parent's incarceration should not determine a child's future. Tomorrow, at its Annual Awards Ceremony at the Historic National Press Club, ScholarCHIPS celebrates that vision by welcoming its 15th cohort of scholars, the largest and most geographically diverse class in the organization's history. Representing Washington, D.C. and 11 states, these students join a growing community of young people who have transformed adversity into educational opportunity.

For many families, access to that opportunity begins with awareness. Since 2024, Securus Technologies has helped ScholarCHIPS reach more incarcerated parents by making scholarship information directly available via more than 550,000 secure tablets in correctional facilities nationwide. Parents with access to tablets can learn about scholarship opportunities, share information with their loved ones, and connect children to resources designed to support their educational journey.
