BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICHIGAN, January 8, 2018 – Registration is now open for the 2019 Bloomfield Hills Financial Stock to Scholarship Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to help high school students in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties understand the basics of investing in the stock market by participating in a risk-free environment with the opportunity to win scholarship money.

Each student is provided access to an online investment account pre-funded with $100,000 in “play money” which can be used to purchase various stocks and mutual funds. Participants can place trades in their portfolios at will with the goal to amass more “money” in their account than any other participant. The top three students who accrue the most wealth by the end of the challenge period will be awarded scholarship money.

The Bloomfield Hills Financial Stock to Scholarship Challenge will help students understand:

• How the stock market works
• How financial, political, economic and weather related events can be affect the stock market
• How a company’s performance can affect a shareholder’s return on investment 

We all look forward to another exciting and competitive session on the Bloomfield Hills Financial Stock to Scholarship Challenge trading floor.

Registration is open now through January 30, 2019 at www.stocktoscholarship.com.  

Challenge trading dates are February 4-April 12, 2019.
