Legendary rock band Metallica awarded Lone Star College $100,000 to enhance its career and technical training. The grant is provided by the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation.

“We are extremely grateful for Metallica’s support of community colleges,” said Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., LSC chancellor. “This grant provides job skill training that is relevant and very much in need.” “All of us in the band feel fortunate that music has provided us the opportunity to be successful doing something we are passionate about,” said drummer Lars Ulrich in a statement. “We want to share our success with others so that they can find a job where they can do the same.” The Metallica Scholars grant is provided by the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges. In all, Metallica awarded a total of $1 million in grants to 10 community colleges across the country to assist more than 1,000 students in obtaining training and help them enter the workforce.
