If you are a high school student enrolled in the Wellesley Metco Program at Wellesley High School, we encourage you to participate in a pre-college summer program focusing on architecture, engineering, or construction (AEC), and sustainable design this summer.
The Green Engineer, in collaboration with Friends of Wellesly Metco, Inc., will be providing funds to cover part of the tuition and/or costs for Wellesley Metco Students to be able to attend suitable pre-college summer programs in the AEC fields.
Below is a list of pre-college programs that we recommend. These programs focus on sustainable design in art/design, architecture, engineering, and construction.
On Monday, April 10, 2023, at 7:30AM, The Green Engineer will be at Wellesley High School to provide Wellesley Metco students with more information on the funding available for the pre-college programs, and to provide students with an introduction into potential careers in sustainable design in architecture, engineering and construction.
If you are interested in attending a summer pre-college program in architecture, design, engineering, construction, or sustainable design that is not on this list, you can also apply for funding through this program. Other suitable pre-college AEC programs will also be accepted.
