WebGrants Tips & Tricks
- Do not register in WebGrants more than once. You can use the same account for multiple applications and awards.
- Always use the navigation buttons within WebGrants (e.g., Back, Add, Delete, Edit, Save) instead of your web browser's back button.
- All fields in red text marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
- Some fields have character count limits. Character counts include spaces.
- You may prefer to prepare your application responses in a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, then cut and paste your responses into the application forms. Note that if you cut and paste text from a document outside WebGrants, special characters such as (&) or (“) may turn into question marks (?). You can adjust formatting after pasting text into a form.
