Enrolling a member into the eGrants Portal. Please note: This is a two-step process. The first step is the “Invite Member” phase. The second step is the “Enroll Member” phase. Both of these steps are necessary to finish the enrollment process and should be completed in one sitting (same day). Your member will not be enrolled until both steps have been performed.

After you hit “save” on the previous page, eGrants will immediately take you to this screen. This is your “S&N Workbasket” tab in your eGrants Portal.

This is the top half of the member enrollment page. Please note that in eGrants the “permanent address” section is before the “current mailing address” section. This is opposite from the paperwork you will receive from the member. Please double check that you input these addresses correctly. Also, there is no way to indicate that the member only has one address. If the member’s permanent address and mailing address are the same, you will have to type the address in twice. Additionally, here is where you will enter in the student’s actual address. 8Enroll a member in eGrants Update with member’s address.

PLEASE NOTE: When the member turns in their enrollment paperwork, they must indicate whether or not they are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Services! 9Enroll a member in eGrants

10 ***Education Award Waiver*** is a new question. This box should NOT be checked without express direction from member. If member waives their Education Award for their SIS service, they will not receive any type of education award voucher for their service.

This is the bottom half of the member’s enrollment page. The calendar on the left is what I get when I click on the small calendar icon next to the start date field. You can either enter the start date manually (mm/dd/yyyy) or use the calendar function. Again, your campus is both the “Program Title” and the “Service Location”. ***The official enrollment date is the date that you are inputting this information into eGrants. Backdating is not an approved practice! 11Enroll a member in eGrants

Please note that when it comes time to choose a “Slot Type”, the drop-down menu has the slots in the order shown below; “Quarter Time”, then “Two Year Half Time”, and last, “Minimum Time”. 12Enroll a member in eGrants

The other important thing to note on this screen is that at the bottom of the page you will have to certify the form. You should only be entering information into eGrants when you are ready to enroll them (all paperwork, including criminal background check is complete). Therefore, you should only choose “enroll member” on this screen. 13Enroll a member in eGrants

See the following slide for an example. 16Enroll a member in eGrants

17Enroll a member in eGrants Choose 2010 for the year, use the dropdown box for “Program Name” to find your school/program and then click “submit” at the bottom of the page.

The Program code for your 2010 members is “10EDHWA001” and to view your 2009 members, you will enter in “2009” as the Program Year, leave the “Service Location” blank and look under Program Code 07EDHWA001)

My search gave me a list of WWU members. Please notice that in eGrants, the member’s city and state are based on their mailing address-not their school or service address. The easiest way to find your member to click on the “Name” Column. This will sort your members alphabetically, by last name. Please note that if you do not see your member on this screen, there are further pages that follow. (See the words Next and Last on the top right hand corner.) 18Enroll a member in eGrants
