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

Helping high school students learn about managing their money will provide benefits that can last a lifetime,” said Kevin VanDyke, Founder and President Bloomfield Hills Financial.
