Merrill
Lynch Young Entrepreneurs
Each
year, the South Carolina Council on Economic Education and Merrill
Lynch will recognize five middle or high school students who
demonstrate a keen entrepreneurial spirit. These young people have met
the challenge of starting their own businesses, understand the costs
and benefits of working for themselves, and are willing to share their
experiences with their peers.
The Rewards Are Sweet
ETV Program
The South Carolina Council on Economic Education and ETV
will tape an interview of each award winner. The interview is part of
the ETV Stock Market Program that is broadcast to schools during fall
and spring semesters in conjunction with the South Carolina Stock
Market Game.
The ETV camera crew travels to the
winner’s place of business to tape the interview. The winners
share their experience on self employment to inspire other young people
to start businesses of their own. Click

The award winners and their families are invited to the South Carolina
Council on Economic Education’s annual awards banquet every spring where a special video presentation of their interview is shown to
more than 250 students, teachers and parents.
Each
award winner receives a $200 cash prize. Nominate
