Who can apply

“The program is available to all grade levels but is more easily utilized in grades 4-12, college classes, after-school programs and a teacher division.”
In the funder’s own words, from economicsarkansas.org, checked Oct 10, 2026.

Teams invest a pretend $100,000 over a semester or the school year. Economics Arkansas pays the fee: teachers pick "PAY LATER" when registering. Arkansas is split into six regions and three divisions; first-place regional teams are honored at a state luncheon.

  • Teacher registers at stockmarketgame.org and selects PAY LATER
  • Student teams in grades 4 to 12

Timing

Fall 2026 runs September 8 to December 4; Spring 2027 runs January 19 to April 16, 2027; the year-long game runs September 8, 2026 to April 16, 2027. Register before the spring session starts.
