INSTRUCTIONS FOR ONLINE APPLICATION

You may want to print this information for reference.

1. The application uses a system called eGRANT. The first page of the application is the Login Page. The first time you visit eGRANT, you must Register New User. This will allow you to create a user name and password. Once you have registered as a user and started an application, you will be able to save your work and exit the eGRANT system. You will be able to return to your application using your Login and password.
   
   
2. The eGRANT Register New User Page will create a new account for you. Please do not create a new account if you already have one. If you cannot remember your existing login or password, please email info@asfdn.org for assistance.
   
   
3. The next page is a Confirmation Page. You do not need to go to your email to proceed. The email will be sent for your records only.
   
   
4. You will then come to a Welcome Page. Hit the Create New Grant button only once. After you do so, a record titled 2010-2011 American Savings Foundation: Scholarship Application will be created and a series of buttons will appear on the right. Hit the green edit button (shown here) to begin.
5. You will be able to save your work and come back to complete the application later. Your application is not submitted until you receive an email confirmation. Your application is not COMPLETE until you submit both the online application and the attachments package.
   
   Remember: you should have printed out the previous three pages which you must mail to the Foundation as part of your Attachments Package. The Attachments Package must include a copy of your SAR, all transcripts, and two letters of recommendation. The online application and all attachments are due no later than March 31, 2010.
