FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WWW.PAYMYTUITION.CA
NATIONAL CONTEST DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS PAY THEIR BILLS

Toronto, ON, February 17, 2003-Although students have been facing a cash crunch for many years, the situation on the horizon seems much worse. With the cost of post-secondary tuition soaring across Canada (over 30% next year at some institutions), multiple part-time jobs and scholarships alone wont be enough to help students keep up with their enormous bills.

To help students out, www.paymytuition.ca was officially launched on February 14, 2003. This Web site offers a contest in which Canadian students can enter for their chance to win $6000.00 towards their tuition -- absolutely free!

This is the first time we have held a contest like this and we are just thrilled with both the feedback from students, and with the support of numerous high-profile partners such as Crest, Herbal Essences, and Tampax" says Rob Linden, a www.paymytuition.ca spokesperson. Being in university or college doesnt seem as it was years ago. The bills keep growing, and the demands placed on students do as well. We see this as an opportunity to help students out. Getting good grades should be their number one focus, not worrying about paying their bills".

As an added bonus, www.paymytuition.ca, has scheduled 30 events at colleges and universities across Canada, from Quebec to British Columbia. The events will allow students an opportunity to enter the contest right on the spot, as well as get free products from the many www.paymytuition.ca sponsors that will help further lower their everyday bills.

Youd be surprised how quickly having to buy basic things like shampoo and toothpaste can add up. Paymytution.ca has been able to secure over 500,000 product samples and special discounts of various products that we are going to be giving away to students at these events absolutely free!"

Events will be held at 30 colleges and universities across Canada during the months of March and April. They include:
§   York University -- Toronto (March 20, 2003)
§   Concordia University -- Montreal (March 27, 2003)
§   Simon Fraser University -- Vancouver (March 11, 2003)
§   Seneca College -- Toronto (March 17, 2003)
