This is a hands-on program administration role with a significant data and systems component. The Associate's largest area of responsibility is APCF's scholarship program, which awards funding to low-income students through corporate and foundation partner programs on a single common application. In the most recent cycle, APCF received ~3,500 applications and awarded over $700,000 to students. The Associate will support this full twelve-month cycle - building the application, supporting applicants and high school counselors, preparing applicant data for partner review, tracking selection decisions, administering scholarship renewals, and preparing award letters and check requests - alongside the online applications and registrations for APCF's grantmaking and capacity-building programs. Because APCF's programs run on a shared database and online form tools, the Associate will also maintain constituent and program records and will be trained to build and maintain the forms, connections, and reports those programs depend on. Prior database experience is not required, but a genuine willingness to become confident and comfortable working in these systems is essential. This position is designed as an Entry Level role. The Associate will work closely alongside the Data Manager and the APCF team through a complete annual program cycle, taking on program areas progressively as their knowledge deepens. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Kill Your WordPress.
