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.

monetary topic.
