FLINT, Mich., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of its centennial celebration, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation is funding the Mott Million Dollar Challenge, a national pitch competition for kids and teens. K-12 students in all 50 states can submit an innovative business idea or creative solution to a community issue for the chance to win a share of $1 million in cash prizes.

The initiative reflects the Mott Foundation’s commitment to empowering young people with hands-on learning experiences and problem-solving skills. Students can submit their ideas from now until February 27, 2026.

As the Foundation celebrates a century of giving to promote a just, equitable and sustainable society, this challenge puts a national spotlight on the next generation of visionaries.

“Every young person has the potential to make a difference,” said Ridgway White, president and CEO of the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. “C.S. Mott’s innovative spirit made the Mott Foundation possible, so we’re honoring that legacy by equipping the next generation with essential 21st century skills: leadership, creativity and ingenuity.”

The competition is open to all K-12 students up to age 18 in the United States, either working solo or in teams of up to three. Participants will move through multiple stages, gaining opportunities to further develop plans to implement their solutions.

To enter the first round, students should submit a 30- to 90-second video pitch describing their new business idea or social initiative and the problem it solves. No prior experience, advanced technology or sophisticated video editing is required. More than 1,000 prizes will be awarded for the top video submissions. Judges will then select the top 60 entrants, who will receive an additional cash prize and be invited to attend a competition in Flint, Michigan, in June 2026. The top 60 also will receive additional coaching to strengthen their business plans or social solutions and will present their pitches before judges and peers for a chance to win larger prizes.

The Mott Million Dollar Challenge is funded by the Mott Foundation and powered by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, which will administer the competition in collaboration with VentureLab, Young Entrepreneur Institute, the Afterschool Alliance and Collaborative Communications.

“Young people are the world’s most powerful innovators,” said Dr. J.D. LaRock, NFTE president and CEO. “They see opportunities where others see obstacles and imagine solutions that can reshape entire communities. That’s why we view entrepreneurship education as essential, not optional. Students gain the mindset, skills and confidence to turn bold ideas into action and drive real change.” NFTE is leading the competition and collaborating with partners across the country to invite students in every state to see themselves as capable, creative problem-solvers who will shape the future.

Over the past decade, the Mott Foundation has supported organizations, including NFTE, YEI and VentureLab, to expand entrepreneurial experiences for young people by integrating entrepreneurship education into afterschool programming. The organizations collaborated with the Mott-funded 50 State Afterschool Network to help make this possible. From 2018 to 2024, more than 900,000 students participated in entrepreneurship programs supported by the Foundation. Students, parents, educators and youth program leaders can find submission instructions, resources and other key information for the Mott Million Dollar Challenge at: mottmillion.org. The deadline to submit ideas is Feb. 27, 2026.

• Natura’s 100-megawatt, molten-salt reactor design offers an ideal option for power production and produced water treatment, providing solutions for critical problems in Texas and other energy producing states

• Agreement to pursue pairing Natura’s MSR-100 reactor with desalination technology to create large-scale produced water treatment opportunities

ABILENE, Texas, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Natura Resources LLC (Natura), a leading developer of advanced molten-salt nuclear reactors, has signed an agreement with NGL Water Solutions Permian LLC, a subsidiary of NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE: NGL), to pursue opportunities to combine Natura’s advanced nuclear reactor technology with thermal desalination for power production and oil and gas produced water treatment. NGL transports, treats, recycles and disposes of more than 3 million barrels per day of produced and flowback water generated from crude oil and natural gas production in the Permian Basin.

Under the terms of the agreement, Natura and NGL will collaborate in seeking opportunities to combine Natura’s 100-megawatt molten salt reactor with NGL’s produced water treatment and desalination expertise. The collaboration will utilize NGL’s expected Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit to provide a flexible, economic solution for power generation and create a new water source for Texas. The combined system will have potential application for treating produced water from oil and gas operations on an industrial scale and will generate power and clean water for potential beneficial use in data centers, agriculture, and as a new water source for other industries. The collaboration also will support NGL’s development of critical mineral extraction from its produced water.

“Texas is facing a serious, long-term challenge of ensuring that there is enough energy and clean water to sustain the current economy and support growing demands for power and water,” said Doug Robison, Founder and CEO of Natura Resources. “Our molten salt reactor combined with thermal desalination can provide a sustainable, competitive solution by generating clean, economic power; treating industrial water for beneficial use; and freeing up natural gas supplies for higher value applications. Collaborating with NGL allows us to advance the application of our breakthrough nuclear technology where it can make a measurable difference for industry, communities, and the environment.”

“By working with Natura, we are evaluating how advanced molten-salt nuclear technology can provide a continuous energy source to support large-scale produced water treatment and transform produced water into a strategic asset that supports energy security, water resilience, and future critical mineral supply chains,” said Doug White, NGL Water Solutions Permian LLC.

Managing produced water is a growing challenge in the Permian Basin and other major oil and gas producing regions. The Permian Basin alone produces more than 20 million barrels of produced water daily. The ability to economically treat large volumes of produced water and enable its beneficial use, particularly for other industrial applications like data centers, will create a scalable alternative to address serious concerns associated with produced water disposal by injection, thereby sustaining the longevity of oil and gas development in the region.

Natura’s modular construction, smaller footprint and reduced water requirements make it an ideal nuclear power technology for collocation with thermal desalination. Its lower capital costs and shorter construction timelines will generate power that is cost competitive with other clean, 24/7 sources, including natural gas. Natura’s liquid-fuel, molten-salt system also will operate at atmospheric pressure, enhancing safety, reducing waste, and enabling the potential use of different fuels, including recycled nuclear fuel.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s timeline for advanced reactor deployments estimates Natura’s MSR-1 will be the first Gen IV reactor deployed in the U.S. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a construction permit in September 2024 for Natura’s 1-megawatt reactor at Abilene Christian University, which is expected to be deployed later this year. The company expects to deploy its first 100-megawatt commercial-scale reactor in 2029.

Hands-on financial education will reach tens of thousands of South Florida students through JA World programs and storefront learning experiences.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — With nearly 8 in 10 American adults carrying personal debt, Consolidated Credit and Debt.com have spent decades helping consumers regain control of their finances. Alongside that work, both organizations share a long-standing commitment to something just as important: preventing debt before it starts through education.

That shared mission continues with the renewal of their partnership with Junior Achievement of South Florida (JA), one of the nation’s leading organizations dedicated to preparing young people for economic success. Together, Consolidated Credit, Debt.com, and JA offer hands-on financial education programs that help students build money confidence early and carry those skills into adulthood.

At the heart of JA World are Storefront Partners, local businesses and organizations that sponsor life-size storefronts representing real industries and career paths. These storefronts transform classroom lessons into immersive experiences where students run banks, manage expenses, and explore professions, bringing financial literacy to life in a way that connects education to real-world economic decision-making.

In addition to supporting student programming, Consolidated Credit will participate in Junior Achievement of South Florida’s “Bring on Tomorrow” event, a free, one-day summit designed for parents of kindergarten through 12th grade students. The event helps families navigate education, career readiness, and a future shaped by innovation and artificial intelligence—while reinforcing the role financial confidence at home plays in long-term student success.

As part of its participation, Consolidated Credit will provide parents with exclusive educational resources, including a free copy of the 2026 Money Confidence Roadmap. The yearlong guide is designed to help families build financial stability through simple, quarterly steps focused on intentional budgeting, lowering debt strategically, goal setting, and building confidence around money decisions.

“Financial education should start long before someone faces their first credit card bill,” said Gary Herman, President of Consolidated Credit. “Our support for JA dates back decades, including helping support JA World’s development in 2009. We’re proud to continue working with JA and Debt.com—both in classrooms and with parents—to give families practical financial tools that support students’ futures.”

“Junior Achievement gives students the chance to see how money decisions shape their futures,” said Don Silvestri, President of Debt.com. “This partnership is about providing experiences that build confidence and understanding early, not just for students, but for the families supporting them.”

Added Howard Dvorkin, CPA, Chairman of Debt.com and Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame recipient, “Junior Achievement’s real-world learning model helps young people connect financial principles to everyday life. When families and students learn together, it strengthens communities and helps prevent the financial challenges so many adults face later on.”

By grounding financial literacy in real-world experiences, for students and parents alike, Consolidated Credit, Debt.com, and Junior Achievement of South Florida are helping families understand not only how money works, but why smart financial decisions matter for life.
