Our Scholarship Program

Metro Car Wash believes passionately in education as well the equal opportunity for everyone to get one.  That’s why we founded the Metro Car Wash / Harkin Scholarship with Jeremy Harkin, a Tucson High School English teacher.

Our goal is simple: to provide at least one Tucson graduating high school student per year with the funding for at least one full year of tuition at Pima Community College.
