<h1>What do you look for in a participant? </h1>
</div>
<div class="grid-2">
<p>If you’re interested in applying to programs at SFPC but are unsure about how to write your application, these are our considerations in our admissions process.</p>
<p>
The main thing that we are trying to do in our selection process is to put together a cohort of people with diverse backgrounds and interests who will have a lot to offer to each other as peers. We center people from identities and backgrounds that are often marginalized and excluded from art, technology, and higher education spaces, and look for a cohort with a wide range of passions, skills, experiences, and technical abilities. Above all, we are selecting for openness to building a shared experience around learning, critical theory, art making, and technology.
Please email us at <a href="mailto:participate@sfpc.study">participate@sfpc.study</a> with any questions you may have.

<h3>Artistic merit and technical expertise</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>Artistic merit and technical expertise are both qualities we look for in applications, but they are not the central concern. If an applicant has a polished portfolio, or an active github page (for instance) it’s worthwhile to ask—what would this person like to learn from their peers? What would they be interested in offering? And if an applicant has less experience with code/tech, or does not identify as an artist, the same questions apply. A central belief is that people of varying levels of experience have a lot to learn and unlearn from each other in the fields of art and technology, so striking a balance of participants is the most important thing.

<h3>Access to art and tech education</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>We get many applications from current students, researchers, and teachers in academia. Many of these students get into SFPC programs! However, where we can, we look to give opportunities to people who may not have other access to art, technology and critical theory education.
</p>
</dd>
</dt>
</div>
<div class="entity">

<h3>Interest in each other</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>We really value hearing that applicants are interested in each other. We are trying to move towards future possibilities in education where the role of teacher is less and less entrenched. When an application gives the sense that a person is eager to participate in creating a horizontal learning environment, that means a lot to us.

<h3>Time and place in life</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>We love having a wide range of ages and geographies in classes, and having participants coming to class for all different reasons—connection, joy, personal interest, professional development and self-discovery to name a few.

<h3>History with SFPC</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>We want to provide pathways for alumni to come back to the school, and for new folks to join. In a class of 20, we look to reserve between 4-6 seats for alumni who apply. When making difficult decisions between applicants who the admissions team is roughly equally excited about, the team is encouraged to check applicants against a list of past applicants, giving priority first to folks who have been waitlisted in the past, and then to folks who have been rejected in the past.

<h3>Ability to pay</h3>
<div class="clear"></div>
<dd>
<p>We do not look at participants’ ability to pay (more or less than general tuition) in the first round of applications. Unfortunately we do not currently have the funding to fully disregard ability to pay in our application process, but we hope to move towards a system in which we make admissions decisions without considering applicants’ financial needs.

<figure class="block-text test hide-test">SFPC is filled with amazing people and an open mindset to learning, and doing. It has taught me different ways of thinking, ones that I would be sure to bring back to my endeavors outside of the art world.
<h4>Ying Quan Tan</h4></figure>
<figure class="block-text test hide-test">SFPC is the purest, most honest exchange of knowledge and experience among peers I have ever experienced. It is a supportive space where everyone learns from everyone, and bridges are built that continue to be strengthened for years to come. You won’t get a certificate or a title at the end of it, but I would be amazed if you ever looked at your world the same again. I haven’t.
<h4>Ramsey Nasser</h4></figure>
<figure class="block-text test hide-test">I'm half way through the program and I'm already missing being here. SFPC was a much needed breath of fresh air in my hectic creative existence, an unlikely place to stop and remind myself what was it I was into in the first place.
<h4>Fernando Ramallo</h4></figure>
<figure class="block-text test hide-test">SFPC is the best place you can explore your interest as much as you want and the place you start to write your own poem.
<h4>Yosuke Sakai</h4></figure>
<figure class="block-text test hide-test">SFPC is not really a school or a course — it is more like a door into an extraordinary world. It is driven by passion, kindness and the thrill of teaching and learning. I would love to live those inspiring weeks all over again.
<h4>Jesse Wolpert</h4></figure>
<figure class="block-text test hide-test">School For Poetic Computation is equal parts The Factory, childhood blanket fort, and mad scientist's lab. I learned a ton from the teachers and the whole SFPC community in a huge collaborative and exploratory environment.
