<p class=MsoNormal>Hello OASFAA graduate/professional aid colleagues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>This is a gentle reminder that the
extended response deadline for the submission of your 2009 Survey of Graduate
Aid Policies, Practices and Procedures (SOGAPPP) is <b>April 15</b>, 2009. </span><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:10.0pt'><span style='color:black'>Your
institution’s participation and response are CRITICAL to the usefulness
of the information collected through SOGAPPP. We understand and recognize the
many competing institutional energies currently dedicated toward preparation
for the 2009-2010 awarding cycle. As a result your special efforts and support
are greatly appreciated.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";

might find it helpful to print a paper version of the survey, collect the data
needed before starting to enter the data online.</span><span style='color:#666666'>

style='color:black'>Since results of the survey will be most useful in
impacting future practice when they are reported in a discipline-specific
fashion, this survey will be based on graduate/professional disciplines. If
your institution offers several graduate/professional disciplines, (for
example, Medicine, Law, and Business) a survey will need to be completed for
each discipline.</span><span style='color:#666666'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
