When do I begin planning for this? Where do I want to study and why? How can I fund my college education?" Students are asked to write a one page essay about the topic and finalists are required to illustrate the topic with a shredded-money art piece. This contest is open to all middle school students (6th - 8th) residing in the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas - El Paso Branch's geographical region."
