Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship Application Mistake

My S just submitted his application online for the CV Scholarship. While he was filling it in, the computer re-started itself and when it came back up, he was able to continue the application and submit it. When he received the confirmation, we saw that there were errors on the application. It autofilled my name as a “Preferred name” for him and the ethnicity questions were not filled in. I don’t know if there were any other problems with it but I was afraid to tell him to start over and submit a second application because I didn’t know if that would cause problems on their side. Of course now the offices are closed for the weekend and the deadline is tomorrow so I don’t know what to do! Vandy is his first choice school and this scholarship is probably the only way he would be able to afford to go so we wanted it to be perfect. This is why I always tell him not to wait until the last minute!

Any suggestions?
