The David Ricardo Division - students enrolled in all other general economics or one-semester high school economics courses.
What about consumer education or personal finance students?
Students not enrolled in an economics or economics-related course during the current school year, but taking a state-mandated consumer education or personal finance course may participate in Econ Illinois' Illinois Personal Finance Challenge.
