MetroPCS Community Scholars Program, sponsored by Kyocera

The MetroPCS Community Scholars Program, sponsored by Kyocera, awards $2,500 scholarships to high school seniors who plan to continue education in college or university programs. In addition, MetroPCS and Kyocera will award a grand prize scholarship of $25,000 to one lucky finalist.

The MetroPCS Community Scholars Program was founded by MetroPCS to encourage high school students to become involved in volunteer activities that give back to their community, and to help young people pay for a college education.

MetroPCS calls the program the Community Scholars Program because in addition to helping young people go to college, we also want to motivate students to become involved in their community. In evaluating applications, our overarching criteria is high school seniors who have demonstrated exceptional involvement in volunteerism and community service, in addition to academics and other criteria. Scholarships are offered for full-time study at an accredited two- or four-year institution of the student's choice.
