Important announcement from the Oaklawn Foundation Scholarship Committee You must PREVIEW your application prior to submitting. You can not upload your recommendation letters one at a time. When you upload them separately the first letter is deleted when the second letter is uploaded. You need to upload them both at the same time, like it’s a multiple page document for both of them to be included. If you don’t preview your application prior to submission, you are most likely unaware that only one letter is included. If two letters are not included, the file must be denied and will not be included in the final scoring when recipients are selected.
