Building application forms

Your public application page

Every school on FutureNerds gets a public application page. Families can visit this page to apply without creating an account first.

Customizing the form

Go to the Applications tab on your school dashboard and click Edit application form (or navigate directly to the application form editor). You can configure:

• Welcome message -- introduce your school and set expectations.
• Programs -- list the programs families can apply to. Each program can have its own age range and description.
• Required fields -- choose which fields to include: child name, date of birth, allergies, emergency contacts, and custom fields.
• Custom questions -- add your own questions (text, multiple choice, or yes/no) to gather additional information.

Sharing the form

Your application page URL looks like: https://futurenerds.app/apply/your-school-id

You can:

• Link to it from your school website.
• Share it in emails or social media.
• Include it in printed materials with a QR code.

What happens when a family applies

1. The family fills out the form and submits it.
2. The application appears in your Applications tab with a status of "Applied".
3. You review the application and decide to approve, waitlist, or reject it.
4. The family receives an email notification with your decision.

Tips

• Keep the form short. You can always collect more information later.
• Test the form yourself before sharing it with families.
• Review applications promptly -- families appreciate fast responses.
