<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">The OTAG program is NOT accepting additional award claims for funding consideration in Spring 2009. At this time we believe we have received more award claims than we may have funding to accommodate. Please recall that our announcement earlier this week stated that we would process and pay these additional award claims on a first come, first served basis until funds were exhausted.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Institutions submitting award claims that we are able to pay will be notified by their receipt of a Disbursement Report. If your institution submitted an Award Claim Form this afternoon that we cannot pay, we will notify you by e-mail as soon as possible. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">We appreciate the quick responses by institutions in assisting the OTAG office to award the remaining 2008-09 funds to eligible Oklahoma students.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Arial">Please contact me if you have questions or need assistance.</FONT>
