In no particular order, the 2018 winners are:
Michelle Kocanda – Pasco-Hernando State College
"I'm honestly shocked that I won this scholarship and was not expecting this news at all. This will be a big help in paying for college and helping me work toward earning my computer engineering degree - financing was a huge issue I was worrying about. Now with this scholarship, I have peace of mind in knowing that a decent amount for next semester will be paid for."
Erik J. Reese – West Los Angeles College
"I am completing my Associate of Science at West Los Angeles College with a degree in Computer Science. I have not yet decided whether I will attend Northern Arizona or Arizona State, in order to complete my Bachelors degree, however I greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate and better, to win your annual essay competition. Thank you."
Andrew Hatch – Florida State College at Jacksonville
"With the cost of education rising each year, the generosity of American Bullion is keeping that cost affordable for hardworking students attempting to get a great education. I truly can't thank them enough. With their financial help, I will be able to spend more time focused on my degree without the fear of accumulating the debt that comes with it."
Nevtan Akcora, Co-Founder and President of American Bullion says, "I am very happy to see that the number of applicants to our annual scholarship contest increases each year. And I am very excited to see that so many Millennials can see the importance of alternative investments such as Bitcoin and Gold IRAs."
