Overview

The Investor Education Grant Program in Arkansas provides funding between $2,500 and $5,000 to public schools and non-profit organizations for investment education aimed at students in grades 5-12. This initiative, managed by the Arkansas Securities Commissioner, supports educational programs about the securities industry and investment decision-making, enhancing financial literacy among young learners.

With the passage of Acts 39 and 948 of 2003, the Arkansas Legislature appropriated funds for a grant-award program administered by the Arkansas Securities Commissioner. The grants are available to programs in Arkansas for the purpose of providing securities/investment education to teachers and students about the securities industry, the stock markets, and investment decision making. Grant proposals will be considered for only these areas.
Funding
The suggested grant request range is between $2,500 and $5,000 although grant proposals for more or less than the suggested range will be considered. The Commissioner will determine the grant award based upon the merit of the program, other school resources and the number of students educated.
