MacKenzie Scotts $2.5M donation to an Ohio high school — which largely serves minority students — is being put to good use, by giving the high schoolers a big jumpstart on their college credits.

Metro Early College Middle & High School in Ohio isn’t your typical school — its curriculum focuses on STEM (science, tech, engineering and mathematics) … while providing students the opportunity to take classes at nearby colleges and intern at local businesses during the school day.

Meka Pace, the superintendent of Metro tells TMZ … while the school has a lot to offer, it can get expensive. Metro typically spends $350K/year on enrolling 84% of its students in university classes. MacKenzie’s donation will allow more students to take college classes.

That’s not all, MacKenzie’s contribution will help with transportation … the kids need to go from school to their internships and back, something that’s been a big obstacle in the past.

FYI — MacKenzie just gifted millions of dollars to several nonprofits in Ohio … including a $6.5M donation to the Columbus Urban League.

Unclear what her connection is to the state of Ohio … but Pace says she’s humbled MacKenzie took notice of the school’s commitment to excellence.
