Local education agencies must use ISBE’s Web Application Security System (IWAS) to access eGMS and submit the eGMS applications via the Internet.
Access
eGMS through IWAS 
Please make sure that you have your approval groups properly assigned through IWAS in order to access eGMS and submit your applications. eGMS will significantly reduce grant preparation time for local education agencies, improve data quality and communications, standardize ISBE grant applications, and improve efficiency of the grant review and approval process.
