| Gold-Backed Scholarship Offers Deserving Students Opportunity to Save on College | | |
Eagle, Idaho (August 1, 2025) – A major U.S. precious-metals dealer is teaming up with the nation's preeminent sound money policy group to help students pay for the ever-increasing expenses associated with higher education.
Money Metals Exchange has again joined the Sound Money Defense League in offering the Sound Money Scholarship – the only known gold-backed scholarship of the modern era.
Beginning in 2016, these organizations have set aside 100 ounces of physical gold (currently worth more than $330,000) 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 free-market tradition.
Applicants are not required to be economics majors to be eligible to receive a scholarship, but they do need to be able to articulate cogent views in response to an essay prompt on a monetary topic.

"While inflation and extravagant federal budget deficits increasingly place our society at risk, it has never been more important to encourage the next generation of leaders to consider how best we can get America back on the path to sound money," said Stefan Gleason, president of Money Metals.

(GATA). He edits the GATA Dispatch, and continues to write three political columns each week for newspapers throughout Connecticut.
