NSU University School Student Earns First Place in National Writing Competition

NSU University School is proud to congratulate our fifth-grade student Evan who received first place in the Elementary School Division of the Florida Fall 2019 InvestWrite Essay Contest. Offered exclusively to teachers and students participating in The Stock Market Game, InvestWrite is an innovative national writing competition that adds a critical thinking component to help reinforce concepts learned in the classroom related to economics, investing, and personal finance.

For his essay assignment, Evan was asked to share what he dreams about achieving in life and pitch his dream to a panel of investors for seed money. He developed an outline of how much it will cost to accomplish his dream, as well as a 10-year investment plan to grow his investors’ seed money over time.
