The U.S. Foundation for Investor Education and TheStreet.com Inc. have formed a partnership to provide online investor education resources to students on TheStreet University section of TheStreet.com’s free Web site.

The Foundation for Investor Education is the nonprofit affiliate of the Securities Industry Association. It administers the Stock Market Game Program for students, using online, real-time research and news to establish a mirror of the actual marketplace. It also sponsors a national essay competition to teach core competencies and critical skills in subjects such as math, economics and business, while focusing on the importance of long-term saving and investing.

Under the agreement, the SMG program will now include links to TheStreet.com market commentary and quote pages, while dedicated links from TheStreet.com\u2019s educational pages will deliver information, news, and SMG program and InvestWrite enhancements for students, teachers and parents to the Foundation\u2019s Web site: www.stockmarketgame.org.

\u201cToday, students spend more time than ever conducting research online,\u201d said Donna Peterman, the Foundation\u2019s chairman and senior vice president, PNC Financial Services Group. \u201cThis partnership is a perfect fit. The Foundation and TheStreet.com will accomplish more together for teachers and students than either of us could alone.\u201d

\u201cWe are pleased to be able to take part in laying the foundation of investment education for students as early as the fourth grade,\u201d said David Morrow, the editor-in-chief of TheStreet.com. \u201cPartnering with Foundation for Investor Education expands our free educational content offerings through TheStreet University, making us an appealing resource. We hope this partnership will encourage even more students to continue to build their financial knowledge toward securing their financial futures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
