SPOKANE, Wash. — The heavy metal band Metallica is renewing its scholarship opportunities to help students at Spokane Community College and nine other colleges across the country.
In 2018, Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation gave SCC and North Idaho Community College $100,000 grant to fund traditional trade education. On Monday, SCC announced the partnership will continue.
“Our goal with the Metallica Scholars initiative was to fulfill the purpose of the grant through focusing on our returning adult population,” said Kevin Brockbank, SCC president. “In addition to the more than 50 students who were directly helped by the Metallica Scholars funds, we believe well over 100 additional students are now enrolled at SCC as a result of this project.”
This year, Metallica is giving each school $50,000. SCC is contributing $50,000 this year to make the project $100,000. SCC said the scholarship assists with tuition, fees and books for the first quarter and may also help with expenses like childcare, tools and transportation.
