BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) – A group of students in Brockton received a scholarship surprise on Thursday.
In a national contest to learn more about the importance of financial planning and literacy, the top five performers were from Brockton High School.
Each were awarded varying amounts totaling $15,000.
“Coming into this competition, I already had experience with trading stocks before and with investing, but through the competition I learned much more about what I didn’t know,” said Henry Ani, one of the scholarship winners.
The organizer of the annual contest says the goal is to close the racial wealth gap.
