Chase Corporation Partners with Society of Women Engineers to Support Scholarships, STEM Education, and Employee Engagement

WESTWOOD, Mass., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chase Corporation today announced a new partnership with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), reinforcing the company's commitment to advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, supporting future engineers, and strengthening community engagement initiatives across its global footprint.

As part of the initiative, Chase Corporation has dedicated $100,000 toward volunteerism, STEM outreach, scholarships, and community impact programs. The investment aligns with Chase's commitment to supporting causes that resonate with its workforce and creating opportunities for the next generation of innovators.

A cornerstone of the partnership is a $50,000 contribution to SWE, which includes funding for five $3,000 scholarships awarded in the name of Chase Corporation to students pursuing engineering and technology-related fields. The partnership also provides Chase engineers with access to SWE memberships, creating opportunities for professional development, networking, mentorship, and participation in educational seminars and workshops.

The remaining $50,000 will be distributed across Chase Corporation facilities to support local STEM-focused volunteer activities, educational programs, and charitable contributions. Early efforts include a donation to the Westwood Robotics Club, a local organization dedicated to promoting robotics and engineering education among students.

"Engineering innovation and science has been at the heart of Chase Corporation for decades," said Eric Conley, Chief Executive Officer of Chase Corporation. "By partnering with SWE, we are investing in the future of science and engineering while creating meaningful opportunities for our employees to engage, mentor, and support the next generation of STEM leaders. We believe that fostering diverse talent and expanding access to STEM education benefits our industry, our communities, and society as a whole."

Chase Corporation also plans to explore opportunities to collaborate with SWE Next, SWE's global outreach program that introduces students ages 5–18 to engineering and technology through hands-on activities, mentorship, and STEM-focused events. Through potential partnerships with local SWE Next clubs, Chase aims to expand employee volunteer opportunities while helping inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM.

The partnership reflects Chase Corporation's broader commitment to corporate citizenship, employee engagement, and fostering innovation through education and community involvement.
