College Scholarships and Internships

The METCO College Scholarship Fund of Lexington has been granting college scholarships annually to eligible METCO graduates of Lexington High School since 1969. As tuitions continue to rise, students often graduate with more and more debt. Now more than ever these graduates need our help as they strive for college completion. Your support may mean the difference between residential or commuter programs, present or deferred matriculation, access to required materials, or restricted or full participation in campus life. Our students have attended Harvard University, Boston University, Spelman College, Bucknell University, Roxbury Community College, Howard University and Lesley University to name a few.

The METCO College Scholarship Fund of Lexington was established in 1969 and received non-profit 501c3 status in 1971. The Fund was created by and continues to be run by Lexington residents. The goal of the Fund is to raise money to provide college scholarship funds to all eligible Lexington METCO college-bound students as they continue on to college.

Scholarships are considered for students who:

• Finish their high school academic career

• Complete the application process

• Articulate, in their interview with a Trustee, that they are motivated to continue their education at the college level

• Accepted to a qualified college or university
