is a reminder that Friday, October 2 is the date by which all institutions
participating in the OTAG program must have submitted their initial fall
semester award claim. As stated in the OTAG Timelines and Procedures for
2009-2010, the president or chief executive officer at any institution not
meeting the October 2 deadline will be notified.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

October 2 is NOT the final deadline for submitting fall OTAG award claims, we
do request cooperation from all institutions in finalizing their fall award
claims as soon as possible. The timeliness of award claims submitted by
institutions leads to the timeliness of OSRHE being able to identify funds
availability and reevaluate our awarding cutoffs (currently 1700 EFC and FAFSA
receipt date 4/30/09).</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
