Notes: Studentawards.com has partnered with Scotiabank to create a new online game, Rock or a Hard Place. It’s designed to help get high school students thinking about the realities of paying for post-secondary education. In a Rock or a Hard Place, students can follow the financial ups and downs of Joolz, Jon, Derryk and Courtney as they try to pay tuition and rent, plus find money for clothes, food and band gear. Will they make smart decisions or costly mistakes?

Once students have played the game, they can enter to win a $500 GIC and a laptop computer with financial software from studentawards.com and Scotiabank!

The winner will be notified by phone.
