Gold-Backed Scholarship Offers Deserving Students Opportunity to Save on College

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.

Money Metals and the Sound Money Defense League also announced this year’s blue-ribbon panel of judges:

In prior years, the Sound Money Scholarship has received entries from students attending more than 150 different schools across nearly 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C., nearly a dozen countries, and five continents.

The deadline to submit applications is October 31, 2025.
