The South Carolina Council on Economic Education and Merrill Lynch are looking for five elementary, middle or high school students who have taken up the challenge of running their own businesses. These young people must understand the costs and benefits of working for themselves and be willing to share their experiences with their peers.

The five 2010 Merrill Lynch Young Entrepreneurs will be interviewed on the ETV Stock Market Program that is broadcast to schools during the fall and spring semesters. In addition, the five entrepreneurs will receive a $200 cash prize.

If you know a student who fits the profile of a Young Entrepreneur, fill out the Merrill Lynch Young Entrepreneur Nomination Form at the SC Council on Economic Education’s Web site at http://www.sceconomics.org/entrepreneur_form.htm. Teachers, parents, community members or even young entrepreneurs themselves may complete the form.
