“THE STOCK to SCHOLARSHIP CHALLENGE”
Local High School Students Compete for
College Scholarship Cash
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI –
January 14, 2014 – The “Stock
to Scholarship Challenge” provides Macomb, Oakland and Wayne County high school
students an opportunity to learn about personal finance while managing their
own stock portfolio. College scholarship money is awarded to the three students
who accumulate the most money in their individual accounts.
Here’s how it works:
Each student is given access
to an online personal stock market account seeded with $100,000 in “play money”
to purchase stocks. The participants can trade stocks from their portfolio at
will. The goal is to amass more money than the other contestants.
Participants have a chance to
win scholarships to the college or university of their choice. One first place
winner will receive $5,000, one (1) second place winner will receive $2,000 and
one (1) third place winner will receive $1,000. Winners will have amassed the
greatest wealth in their investment accounts. Contestant winners will be
announced in May, 2014.
Student registration is open
now until February 17, 2014. The
contest begins on February 18, 2014 and ends
on April 25, 2014.To request register
