The Reclaimed Rust book sweepstakes is specifically designed to support the Metallica Scholars Initiative, which supports job training for community college students looking for opportunities in trade or other applied learning program, and in this case automotive technology programs.
The Metallica Scholars program, launched in 2019, gave ten U.S. colleges $100,000 each in its first year to support over 700 students training for jobs in the technical trades.
"Our 2019 Metallica Scholars have exceeded expectations and inspired us in more ways than we could have possibly imagined. We’re really excited to be able to expand the initiative in its second year, assisting more students in achieving their dreams and transforming their lives in 2020," Ulrich says in a statement on the foundation's website.
The Metallica Scholars program was expanded to support 15 total schools in 2020 with in all $1.5 million in donations.
"The foundation and the band are thrilled by the quality of proposals we received from these colleges, and are excited to do our part to help educate students so that they have the skills and training necessary to find meaningful and well-paying jobs in their communities," Dr. Edward Frank, executive director of AWMH, said in a statement in Dec. 2018, when the program was first announced.
The Metallica Scholars program is a partnership between the AWMH foundation and the American Association of Community Colleges, which represents around 1100 U.S. community colleges. The colleges that received support from the Metallica charity were often in communities that supported the heavy metal band's U.S. tours. The grant funds from the Metallica Scholars program provide scholarships and services for students in the community college programs.
