<P class=article style="MARGIN-TOP: 15px">ANTIGONISH, Nova 
Scotia/EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 15, 2006 --- HelpAStudent.com was launched today in an 
effort to make education more affordable to all students. The goal of the site 
is to use the Internet to raise $1 million for students that need help financing 
their college education. The contest is open to students from Canada, the United 
States, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. </P>
<P class=article style="MARGIN-TOP: 15px">Unlike most scholarships that are 
based on merit and scholastics, HelpAStudent.com places the decision in the 
hands of online voters. The process requires that students create a profile and 
write an elevator pitch about why they deserve the money. Visitors can then vote 
which students they feel is most deserving. The top 50 males and females will be 
entitled to the money which will generated through advertising. All sponsorship 
money goes back to students. </P>
<P class=article style="MARGIN-TOP: 15px">The site is designed to help students 
who are assertive, pro-active (inviting more people to vote for them) and 
creative in getting their story to relate with voters. In other words, it is a 
scholarship for leaders that highlights an individual's personality. </P>
<P class=article style="MARGIN-TOP: 15px">"We will make sure that there are no 
fraudulent and/or script-generated clicks," said Kellie Duggan, founder of 
HelpAstudent.com. "We review all the logs and implement sophisticated software 
to catch anybody who wants to artificially inflate their score and will manually 
review all the winners, so that only real students get the money." </P>
<P class=article style="MARGIN-TOP: 15px">Underlying the scholarship giveaway 
the organization strives to bring attention to the problem of ever increasing 
student debt and tuition fees. "It's becoming harder and harder for students and 
their families to afford a college education," said Duggan. </P>
