GRAND ISLAND, Neb. – Central Community College returns for the second year as part of the Metallica Scholar program to receive $50,000 to transform the future of students in the community.
Since establishing the Metallica Scholars Initiative in 2019, All Within My Hands (AWMH) has been working with the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) to provide direct support for career and technical education programs across the US.
Having grown from a concept to a thriving educational strategy that focuses on enhancing skills while providing services to students looking to enter a traditional trade or other applied learning program, the Metallica Scholars Initiative has generated a proven and measurable impact.
AWMH will replicate the program further by adding ten more schools to the roster, investing $1.8 million to expand in year four.
“Central Community College is very pleased with the renewal of the generous grant from the All Within My Hands Foundation to continue to support students in our growing criminal justice program throughout central Nebraska,” said CCC President Dr. Matt Gotschall.
