[Oasfaa] OTAG Award Statistics

[Joyner, Shiela]

Good Afternoon,

Folks, we need your help!  We adjusted the OTAG award cutoff date to take
into consideration the additional funding available this year, but it now
appears that we may be able to extend the date past the current cutoff of
May 4.  However, before we can proceed we must be confident that we have
awarded the majority of eligible students meeting the current awarding
criteria including the May 4 cutoff.

Attached for your information is a document that reflects a by-school
comparison of OTAG awards paid in the 2000-2001 award year and current
awards for the 2001-2002 award year.  Many schools will notice that their
2001-2002 numbers are down from last year, some significantly.  We wonder if
it is possible that there may still be many students meeting the current
award criteria (cutoff date of  May 4, 2001) that could be considered for
awards if their "packaged" status were reported to OTAG, and we ask that you
take another look at your applicant pool to determine if this is the case
for your school.

While the next Eligibility Status Report is not scheduled until November 15,
we will be issuing an additional report cycle this week for all schools to
provide a means for collecting reporting for additional potential awardees.
Please contact the OTAG office if you have questions about this additional
Eligibility Status Report cycle or if we can be of assistance to you.
