  August 6, 2019 - Utica, NY

  Our 2019 Spring & Summer intern, Trinity Critelli, was awarded a coveted

  scholarship award presented by Nationwide. Trinity was selected to be the

  recipient of the scholarship based on her essay response to the question

  "A surprising percentage of Americans report that they would not be able to

  come up with $1,000 tomorrow if needed. Why do you suppose so many

  Americans live paycheck to paycheck & what can you do to be successful

  in your financial well-being now and in the future?".

  We have no doubt that Trinity will do great things as she starts her next chapter

  as a Business Major at Mohawk Valley Community College with her sights set

  on joining the investment world and put her essay answer into action.
