Editors Note: There are three photos associated with this Press Release.

Scotiabank, in partnership with Studentawards Inc., is helping Canadian
students to plan healthy financial futures through a new promotion, the
Origami Oracle, launching this week. The promotion is running as part of
Scotiabank's Fund Your Future initiative, providing Canadian students and
their parents with interactive tools for planning and budgeting toward
making their post-secondary dreams a reality. Fund Your Future launched
in 2004 and has been responding to the needs of Canadian students ever
since.

"We want to make sure students and their parents have money management
resources at their fingertips on the Fund Your Future website" says Ray
Baldelli, Vice President of Retail Loans at Scotiabank. "We believe in
helping students get off to a solid start on the post-secondary journey
and we understand that money stress can often take focus away from one's
studies... Fund Your Future is designed to help to alleviate this stress."

The Origami Oracle promotion invites high school, college and university
students to peek into their futures and see what might be in store for
them in the areas of travel, health and money. Students can consult
online with the Oracle every day of the contest, invite friends to see
their futures too, and be entered to win great prizes, including cash to
pay for school.

Emails, web banners and embedded text links on Studentawards.com and
Boursetudes.com, targeting over 300,000 Studentawards.com members,
support the promotion. "We also want to make sure students understand
that 'free money' awarded through scholarships or other opportunities is
the best way to pay for school... that's why we partner with
Studentawards.com, Canada's only bilingual scholarship matching service"
adds Baldelli. "Members of Studentawards.com and Boursetudes.com are a
perfect fit for Scotiabank - they are highly interested in authentic
opportunities to meet their financial and lifestyle needs for
post-secondary education."
