rename LOI
It would be nice to rename LOI since they aren't really letters, but an application. We want to go to a 2 step application process, the first is an application, and the second is all the attachments.

We are planning on using SLM for a non traditional "application" process for a wounded military Veterans non profit. We would like to be able to change the name LOI form name to "Intake Form"

YES! The term is outdated. Even if it can't be customized, if we could at least call it a "pre-application" that would help, although I realize this doesn't resolve the issue for the OP :-(

This would help us as well. Just last month (our first deadline of the year) we had three different applicants assume LOI meant they should just upload a letter and were confused after logging in to see that there was a "application" instead.

I totally agree. We do a concept note and the term LOI means something entirely different in the international space in which we work. It would be helpful to be able ot change this title so our program partners don't get confused.

We also use a two-step process starting with a preliminary proposal (pre-application would work also).

We use the term pre-application as well and would also like to be able to change this name. We bit the bullet though and starting calling our pre-application LOIs this year to be consistent with our online application.

We refer to the "LOI" as a Pre-Application, so it would be good to be able to have this stage be changed to Pre-App. We do see there is confusion with applicants wanting to submit a "letter" or asking where the upload for the letter is.
