InvestWrite competition. Gendreau researched and composed an impressive investment plan promising a bright financial future and now he’s being recognized as the best in Rhode Island.

InvestWrite is a national essay competition that bridges classroom learning in math, social studies, and language arts with the practical research and knowledge required for saving, investing and long-term planning.

The competition serves as a culminating activity for participants in the SIFMA Foundation’s Stock Market Game™ program.

Essays are judged by thousands of financial professionals who volunteer their time each year to ensure young people are exposed to the essentials of personal finance early in life.
