The Chase-Rescorla Scholarship

Chase-Rescorla Scholarship Fund: Memorial Scholarship Annual Awards Dinner

The Chase Rescorla Scholarship Fund was a response to the lives of Leo C. Chase and Rick Rescorla, both of whom served in Vietnam in the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), 7th Cavalry Regiment. This fund will award a scholarship to a local student in the names of Chase and Rescorla to keep alive the memories of these heroes.

The fund will pay a student's college or trade-school tuition and books. Guidance counselors will be asked to recommend candidates for the Chase Rescorla Scholarship Fund. Then a selection board will act to select a recipient.

Tax-deductible contributions can be sent to Prosperity Bank account number #7022086801. This is a non-profit fund.

Nine $1,000 Scholarships will be awarded at the 2nd Annual Dinner on April 5, 2008.
