Quote from Maverick74:
Well, that's the thing, they technically are not "accepting" your funds. In fact, if they did, you could jack these guys! They are smart, they run the operation as two separate businesses. You really need to understand that these are two separate companies. You are not depositing your money with a prop firm, you are paying for a course. By actually not using your funds for trading, it actually protects them legally.
This is why traders would just be better off to tell these types of firms, that you'll give them 10k to deposit for trading and not for the education. Of course they won't accept that.
