The Missouri Stock Market Game™
Advisor NYSE Scholarship Award

The Missouri Council on Economic Education is pleased to offer two $1,000.00 scholarships to attend a five-day summer workshop for educators at the New York Stock Exchange. These scholarships will be awarded to the advisors of the teams that build the greatest overall value in their portfolios statewide in both the Fall 2007 and the Spring 2008 Competitions.

The five-day workshop is designed to:

• Provide educators with a thorough understanding of the capital-raising process, the NYSE agency auction market, regulation, and technology.

• Increase teacher ability to include the stock market across curriculum disciplines.

• Provide supporting materials and skills for classroom instructions.

Teachers also have an on-site visit to the trading floor, where they interface with market professionals. The workshop is held at the NYSE from 8:30am - 4:30pm, M-F.  Missouri teachers will have the choice of one summer workshop. Workshop dates will be published in April. Workshops are usually held the last week of June, three weeks in July, and one in early August.
