$15,000 IN CLASSROOM SCHOLARSHIPS TO 100 SCHOOLS STANDARDS ALIGNED ONLINE PICTURE DATABASE OFFERED FREE TO K-12 SCHOOLS Quality educational photos & illustrations available online: http://www.gotoep.com

CHICAGO IL USA: March 27, 2003: Educational pictures, Inc. is awarding $15,000 in classroom scholarship subscriptions to one hundred schools worldwide. Educational Pictures features a standards aligned image database with a simple interface and image messaging system. Public and private schools are eligible.

To receive a scholarship subscription for one classroom in your school, principals, librarians or teachers can submit a written request to mfisher@gotoep.com with scholarship in the subject field and a short paragraph about how standards aligned images are good for education. The first one hundred schools to email EP starting March 27, 2003 will be awarded a scholarship and passwords good from September 2003 through June 2004. One scholarship is available per school.

EP's proprietary picture content specializes in science, math, history and health with more than 25,000 standards aligned photos and illustrations in its searchable database.

Students and teachers can search and download pictures for use in lesson plans, presentations, homework assignments, school reports, science fairs and class websites.

After a year of extensive testing and use in several schools, EP has become a valuable research and educational tool. Students can find the images they need within seconds, says Henry Schleichkorn, EP's president. For example, a typical search on Paramecium will instantly produce 32 specific images. Teachers and students no longer have to pick through unrelated search results from cumbersome archives. EP saves precious time when surfing the web and eliminates potential exposure to inappropriate materials and advertising.

EP's Photo Notebooks feature vLightbox Technology enabling users to save images for future consideration. Photo Notebooks can be sent through the closed messaging system to teachers and fellow students, keeping the EP site kid-safe.
