Since its creation in 2016, the Sound Money Scholarship has had hundreds of applicants representing more than 250 different high schools, colleges, institutes, and universities across more than 40 states, 5 countries, and 4 continents.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents everywhere are waking up to the ongoing and deliberate devaluation of the Federal Reserve Note (today referred to as the \u2018dollar\u2019) \u2013 an immoral, central-bank policy that punishes savers, wage-earners, and retirees the most,\u201d said Stefan Gleason, president of Money Metals Exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur scholarship gives students the opportunity to display their understanding of economics while lessening the burden of the significantly inflated costs associated with attending college,\u201d said Jp Cortez, policy director of the Sound Money Defense League. \u201cThis year\u2019s competition resulted in the largest turnout we\u2019ve ever seen, and we expect that trend to continue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deadline to submit applications for consideration next year is October 31, 2020. For more information, visit moneymetals.com\/scholarship<\/a> or email scholarship@moneymetals.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
