Over 1,000 individual students participate in the Millionaire's Club.
The Millionaire's Club is a complete financial skills program designed for delivery in a club-like setting at the high school level. Clubs are provided seed grants, detailed curriculum, and Faculty/Student materials at no charge.
Also included are entry into national competitions such as The Stock Market Game™ and The Personal Finance Challenge™ and additional support materials add a fun, competitive edge to the Club's activities.

Club members elect their own leadership, actively engage in the program, and conduct a year-ending entrepreneurial project that allows Club members to put into practice their new financial skills while ensuring the Club's future.
