The Sound Money Scholarship is the First Gold-Backed Scholarship in Modern Day Times
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2019 / A national precious-metals dealer is teaming up with a sound money policy group to help students pay for the ever-increasing costs of college.
Money Metals Exchange has teamed up with the Sound Money Defense League to offer the Sound Money Scholarship - the first gold-backed scholarship of the modern era. Starting in 2016, these organizations have set aside 100 ounces of physical gold (currently worth more than $130,000) to reward outstanding students who display a thorough understanding of economics, monetary policy, and sound money.
The Sound Money Scholarship is open to high school seniors, undergraduate, and graduate students with an interest in economics, specifically the tradition of the Austrian school. Applicants do not have to be economics majors to be eligible to receive this scholarship.
Money Metals Exchange and the Sound Money Defense League also announced this year's blue-ribbon panel of judges:

Dr. Karl-Friedrich Israel holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Angers, France, where he also worked as a lecturer from 2016 to 2018. He holds a M.Sc. in applied statistics from Oxford University, UK; a M.Sc. in applied mathematics from ENSAE ParisTech, France; as well as a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in economics from Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany.
John Tamny is director of the Center for Economic Freedom at FreedomWorks. He's also editor of RealClearMarkets.com and a senior economic adviser to Toreador Research and Trading.
