    I've found several state or regional contests for students who are interested in business but haven't been able to find any national programs for high school students. Does anyone know of a program/contest for students who are interested in business?

    I don't know if FBLA and DECA count, but my son was involved in those, and got to participate in competitions. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you are looking for, though.

    Are you looking for something that would give them funding to start up a business, a contest for high schoolers who have created something new that they want to market, a program to teach them about business in general, or something else?

    I'm looking for a program that will teach them about busness and the components of a business plan. Probably something where they have to develop a business idea which they may or may not try to execute into a real enterprise afterwards.
