“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

materials, please email us at: stocktoscholarshipchallenge@yahoo.com

Complete contest rules will

be sent to every registered participant. To learn more visit:  http://www.facebook.com/stocktoscholarshipchallenge
