Internship Application template
An internship application form tuned for students: contact details, track, school and major, graduation date, preferred term, a portfolio or GitHub link, resume upload, and one question that does the real screening — what do you want to learn from this internship? About five minutes end to end, which matters when applicants are comparing twelve programs.

What’s inside
The questions this template ships with — rename, reorder, or delete any of them in the builder.
When to use this template
- A startup opening summer internship applications and expecting a burst of submissions after a university careers-fair post
- An engineering org whose interns arrive via GitHub links more often than resumes — both have a field here
- A design studio running rolling spring and fall cohorts, using the term question to sort candidates by availability
- A People team replacing an inbox full of 'do you take interns?' emails with one public link
Tips to get more from it
- 'What do you want to learn?' is the highest-signal question on the form and it's required. Generic answers screen themselves out; specific ones hand your mentors a starting plan.
- The track dropdown pre-sorts applicants for review — keep it aligned with the teams that have actually committed mentor time this term.
- The resume upload takes one document up to 10 MB; the portfolio URL field is separate and optional, which suits engineering candidates whose GitHub says more than their resume.
- The welcome screen mentions real projects, a mentor, and a stipend — the three things student applicants scan for. Edit it to your program's specifics rather than deleting it.
Questions people ask
What should an internship application form ask?
Enough to screen, no more: contact info, track, studies and graduation date, availability, work samples, and motivation. This template is 10 fields and takes about five minutes — longer forms measurably lose student applicants.
Can applicants apply from their phone?
Yes — the conversational layout shows one question per screen and works fully on mobile, including the resume upload from a phone's files.
