Essay Contest Overview

Many times, the best economic lessons are found outside your classrooms, and if you observe what goes on around you, you can learn about economics.

The Little Rock, Louisville and Memphis branches sponsor an essay contest each year for 9th- through 12th-grade students.

Information about our 2008-2009 contest is coming soon. Check back for details.
