Columbia Gorge Community College will participate for the second consecutive year in the Metallica Scholars program. The CGCC Foundation matched the award to offer $100,000 in scholarships for students enrolled in career-technology training. Funds are also used to purchase toolkits for students in construction trades and advanced manufacturing. Funded by Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation and led by the American Association of Community Colleges, the Metallica Scholars Initiative directly supports students while elevating the importance of career and technical education. This year there are ten more colleges being added to the program, with an investment of $1.8 million. To learn more about the program at CGCC, go to cgcc.edu.
