The e-Grants registration requires up to three weeks for application processing. We encourage clients and

potential

clients to

complete the registration cycle well before any intention of applying for any particular e-

Grant.

This is a tedious

process and

usually requires the assistance of your district's central business office

to ensure

ample time for quality grant

design, revision

and submission uploading. We recommend adding

PHD Vision as a

"Grantee Writer/Editor" during the

registration process to

ensure swift and smooth grant

processing. Clients are

welcome to our assistance.

Think Like A King® is a comprehensive software system that lets schools or families use chess to help kids build the critical
thinking skills they'll need for learning… and for life.

At school, it's an entire system that addresses all the needs of a chess club, from Management to Motivation to Teaching. So
any school can have an expert chess program even without a chess expert.

At home, our engaging interactive chess tutorials make learning chess easier and more fun than ever. You'll find everything
you need to help your kids become better chess players and better thinkers. It's like having a personal chess tutor on call
24/7.

Think Like A King is more than just great software. It's a nationwide project to promote chess as an educational activity that
provides the tools to promote successful thinking for a successful life. No wonder Think Like A King has become the Official
Scholastic Software of the United States Chess Federation.
