How to Download AHP Application Documents

Step 1. Create a file folder on your computer desktop to store the AHP application materials:

Right click on your computer desktop, select New and then Folder and name the file folder with the member
institution and project name, e.g.. ABC Bank_XYZ Project.

Step 2. Download and open the 2014 AHP application package

Access the application package file (2014AHPApplicationRental.zip or 2014AHPApplicationOwner.zip) from the

Banks website.
Click on the file and select Open.

Step 3. Extract folders and files from the 2014AHPApplicationRental.zip or 2014AHPApplicationOwner.zip file, saving
to your newly created folder (Mac users skip this step. See note below.)

With the file now open, select EXTRACT to save folders and files to the desktop location of your newly created
file folder. Be sure that All files/folders in archive and Use folder names are checked in the dialog box that
appears to ask where to save extracted files.
Select the location to save the file folder and choose Extract in the dialog box to complete the file extraction
process.
Exit from the zip file.

Step 4. Save the completed application documents in the newly created folder

The entire extracted application package and the file folder structure should now be in the folder you created.
Complete, print, sign, and scan the entire application and the Direct Subsidy Agreement and save each as an
Adobe Acrobat PDF document.
Scan all other attachments and save as Adobe Acrobat PDF documents to the appropriate folders.
Complete and save the Financial Workbook as an Excel file to the relevant folder.

Step 5. Copy the entire folder containing the Application, the financial workbook, and all supporting attachments
onto a compact disc (CD) or USB flash drive

The electronic copy of the Application, the workbook, and attachments that you have copied to the CD or USB
flash drive is the official application submission and, where required, must include signatures
Submit one paper copy of the Application, the financial workbook, and all supporting attachments with the CD or
USB flash drive containing your official application. The paper file copy must be identical to the electronic copy.

Note: Mac computer users should skip Step 3. Upon downloading 2014AHPApplicationRental.zip or
2014AHPApplicationOwner.zip, the file will automatically open and ask where to save the entire file. Save the folders and files
into the newly created file folder with the member institution and project name.
