As always, there is no charge for your students to participate in the Governor’s Challenge.
There are three divisions of the competition.
- The Adam Smith Division for students enrolled in an IB, AP, honors, college-level or 2-semester micro/macroeconomics course.
- The David Ricardo Division for students enrolled in a 1-semester general econ course – including courses taught to satisfy the Economics and Personal Finance requirement – or any course that teaches econ-related content (Government, Business, World Geography) as long as it is not labeled AP, IB, honors, or college level.
- The Personal Finance Division for students enrolled in a course that includes some personal finance content.
**Participation in this division is a GREAT way to help prepare your students for the W!se certification exam!**
We would like to thank you for considering participation in The Governor’s Challenge and, again, are so excited to see what is to come for you and your students. If you have any questions regarding preparing for or participating in The Governor’s Challenge, please feel free to email us.
