Basics & Demographics
A note for applicants: our review process obscures information like your name, email address, age, race, and gender to reduce implicit bias from reviewers. Your responses in this section will not influence your application status, with the exception of age—we are not able to accept applicants under the age of 18. Although these questions are not evaluated during review, they are included here to help us collect aggregated data on our applicant and student pools—this helps us strive toward the most equitable application process and program possible, better understand the field of community management, and spot ways we may be falling short in spreading the word about this application to diverse networks. We strongly encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply for this program.
    Please note we are not able to accommodate students who are under 18.

        Program Availability & Requirements
        This section will ask you questions about your availability to participate in this program. While schedules vary in each cohort, you can reference a sample schedule for a previous cohort here: https://rebrand.ly/essentials-schedule-q322
          From what time zone will you be taking part in the program?
          While we are not limiting applicants based on location, please note that our employer partners are currently based in the US—as such, this program can only accommodate applicants who are legally allowed to work in the US at this time.
          Please take a moment to tell us more about your availability for live sessions.
          This program combines live class sections, asynchronous learning materials, and independent work. Typical real time commitments during the program are broken down as: -2 hour class/week -1.5 hour small group practice/week -1 hour guest presentation (on about half of the weeks) You can view a sample schedule here: https://rebrand.ly/essentials-schedule-q322 While every situation is unique and we understand that conflicts do arise (and we do record sessions), we expect that successful students will miss no more than 3 live sessions, planned or unplanned. If offered a spot in one of our cohorts, you'll get the chance to review the entire program-specific schedule before committing. However, based on this information regarding the time commitment, please tell us more about your availability.
          If accepted, would you be able to devote 10hrs/week to completing the program?
          This program is designed to require about a 10hr/week time commitment (including live and self-paced work) from students in order to complete successfully.
          When would you ideally like to participate in C School?
          Would you be willing to take part in a mixed-track cohort?
          Our team runs multiple tracks of this course offering—a track for those seeking a job in community management and a track for those already employed. The first eight weeks of content are identical, and the tracks diverge in the final four weeks, where job seekers engage in career services and already employed CMs engage in 1:1 coaching on their current community project. If participating in a mixed-track cohort allowed you to be offered a seat in a cohort more quickly, would you be willing to participate in a cohort with job seekers, or would you prefer to wait to participate in a cohort with your same track?
          Please tell us more about how you plan to fund your participation in the program.
          This program costs $3000 USD to participate.
          Please tell us which payment option would make it possible for you to participate in the program.
          We are able to provide a limited number of partial and full scholarships to students who are not able to secure full funding from an employer. Participants also have the option to pay for their program balance not covered by an employer either up front, or using a variety of payment plan options (3, 6, and 12 months). Please note that our primary goal for this program is to educate the most high quality candidates; as such, you are encouraged to still apply regardless of your current ability to pay. **Note: only candidates who indicated that their annual salary is <$35k USD/annually, are unemployed at the moment of application or work for a non-profit organisation will be considered for a full scholarship.
