Economic Literacy Colorado is excited to announce the winner of the second annual Kay Schmidt Young Economist Scholarship essay contest, Mannon Frykholm, of Fairview High School. The scholarship, which provides a $1,000.00 cash award, was created in honor of Kay’s contributions and her legacy as a founder of Economic Literacy Colorado and her tireless promotion of economic education.
Mannon’s essay was selected from thirty submissions, all responding to the prompt, “What Economics Means to Me.” We congratulate Mannon and her economics teacher, Amy Paa-Rogers.
