The Endowment's primary purpose is to provide financial support for the educational programs and facilities of the Chinquapin Preparatory School. The Chinquapin Preparatory School is dedicated to providing a high-quality college-preparatory education to able and deserving boys and girls, grades 6 through 12, from low-income Houston area families. Boys in grades 7 and 8 and girls in grades 8 through 12 are eligible to board on campus. All high school boys are required to board on campus. Through the rigorous curriculum and an emphasis on community service, the School aims to produce responsible, well-educated citizens who will become constructive leaders in the community.
