Launching an online presence through the ASPSF website can help you achieve the above goals. As an SPSF affiliate, the following services are offered to you:

• A dedicated web page for your SPSF affiliate organization that can be customized to fit your needs. The basic page layout includes contact information for students seeking more information about your scholarship opportunity. Some affiliates have provided information on local services, upcoming events and more to enhance the usefulness of this page for a larger audience, which includes donors and constituents.
  


• An online donation system. Contributors may designate their donations for use in any county of their choice. Affiliates may use this system to accept credit card payments at events, for ticket sales, etc. ASPSF will receive the contributions, then send proceeds (less applicable fees), plus eligible matching funds, directly to your SPSF.
  


• Post printable versions of the affiliate SPSF scholarship application for the convenience of your single parents. This helps save your printing budget and manages some of the communication between you and applicants. The following file formats may be accepted:
  • Microsoft Word (.doc)
