Central planners have further contributed to the problem of skyrocketing education costs through easy access to government-subsidized loans which Gleason said are usually awarded regardless of merit or creditworthiness. Colleges and universities can spend frivolously and raise their tuition costs aggressively. Meanwhile, students frequently leave college with debt that exceeds a home mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>Essays will be reviewed by a blue ribbon committee of professors, economists, and executives of Money Metals Exchange and Sound Money Defense League.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"scholarship-header3\">Essay Judges:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"row scholarship-judges\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneymetals.com\/uploads\/content\/dr-lucas-engelhardt.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive img-circle center\" alt=\"Dr. Lucas Engelhardt\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><strong>Dr. Lucas Engelhardt<\/strong><br \/><em>Kent State University<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneymetals.com\/uploads\/content\/wolf-von-laer.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive img-circle center\" alt=\"Dr. Wolf von Laer\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><strong>Dr. Wolf von Laer<\/strong><br \/><em>CEO, Students For Liberty<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moneymetals.com\/uploads\/content\/mmx-scholarship-robert-murphy.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive img-circle center\" alt=\"Robert Murphy\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"text-center\"><strong>Dr. Robert P.
