Which Schools Are Supported By The Metallica Scholars Program? Partnering with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), a Washington, DC-based organization that represents the nation’s 1,103 community colleges, the Metallica Scholars awards were selected via a competitive application process and are designed to provide support of relevant job skill training for community college students, reinvest in communities that supported Metallica during its recent United States tours, and leverage the influence of Metallica to elevate the importance of career and technical education. MSI has impacted the lives of 6,000 students across the US so far. Reaffirming our commitment to career and technical education, 11 new colleges were added, and we now have programs at 42 schools in 33 states.

On July 26, 2023, we announced the launch of year five of the Metallica Scholars Initiative. We launched year three on May 25, 2021, by adding eight schools, bringing MSI to 23 schools nationwide. In year four, we proudly broadened our reach to support 32 schools in 27 states as the number of students supported grew.

Year one of the program proved so successful it prompted us to expand the program to 15 schools in year two(2020). In 2019, ten colleges from across the country received $100,000 each to support more than 1,000 students training to enter the American workforce. These programs provide skills and services to students looking to enter a traditional trade or other applied learning program. Metallica Scholars is a major workforce education initiative that provides direct support to community colleges to enhance their career and technical education programs.
