Creating an Enrollment Application

To create an enrollment application for your program, Spark will automatically generate it once you provide the necessary information:

1. Program Name: Enter the name of your program (e.g., "2025-2026 School Year").
2. At Least One Option: Add at least one option in the Program Options section, such as "Full-Day Enrollment" or "High School Enrollment." If your program only has one option for applicants, simply give the option the same name as your program.

Once these details are entered, Spark will generate an application that includes pre-made fields that applicants must complete.

Customizing an Application

After your application is created, you can tailor it to your specific needs by:

1. Accessing the Application Tab: Go to the Application Questions tab to make adjustments.
2. Deselecting Unnecessary Fields: Remove any pre-built fields that don't apply to your program.
3. Marking Fields as Required or Optional: You can change whether a field is required or optional for applicants.
4. Adding Custom Fields: If you need additional questions, you can create custom fields with different response types (e.g., text, phone number, select options, file uploads).

To add a custom field:

• Scroll to the bottom of any section and click + Add Custom.
• Enter your question and choose the desired field type (text, checkbox, select options).
• If using "Select One" or "Select Many," provide a list of options for applicants.
• Click Save when done to apply your changes.

Requiring an Application Fee

You can require applicants to pay an application fee before submitting their enrollment application.

To set this up:

1. Open your Enrollment Program.
2. Click the Settings button (top right).
3. Go to the Application Fee tab.
4. Enter the fee amount
5. Toggle on the Payment required in application.
6. Click Save.

💡 Note: To collect fees online, make sure online payments are enabled in Billing → Settings.

Sharing Applications

To share your application:

1. Click “View Application Form” at the top of the page when in your enrollment program.
2. Copy and send the url link via email, text, or social media—whichever works best for your audience.

This makes it easy for families to access and complete the application anytime!

Once an application is submitted

• You will recieve an email notification
• The applicant will receive an email confirmation or receipt
• The application will appear in the Application Funnel list with the status Received. See the Enrollment Funnel help doc for more information.
