Given the disruptions caused by COVID-19, the Federal Reserve, along with other co-sponsoring Federal Reserve Banks and regional planning universities, have made the changes to the National College Fed Challenge structure to ensure the competition can be held in 2020. Please see College Fed Challenge 2020 Rules and Steps. The new format will allow schools outside the current Fed Challenge districts to compete in a newly created "at-large" new region.
College Fed Challenge is a team competition for undergraduate students. Teams analyze economic and financial conditions and formulate a monetary policy recommendation, modeling the Federal Open Market Committee.
