The Alumni Funded Scholarship Program

The Alumni Scholarships are funded by the generous donations of Metropolitan College alumni. The first of its kind in the country, the scholarship program was initiated in 1989 by a group of dedicated MET alumni who understood the unique financial needs of the College’s part-time students. Since its inception, the alumni-funded program has assisted dozens of MET undergraduates, providing them with the opportunity to excel at their studies by removing some of the financial stress of being a part-time, evening student while managing a career.

Scholarships are awarded in $1,000 increments for a specific semester.

  • Show evidence of financial need by filing a Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
