About this template

This internship application form runs on Formester's drag-and-drop builder, sized for companies running summer, semester, or year-round internship programs across engineering, product, marketing, and operations tracks.

The template captures university + expected graduation, resume upload, prior internship experience, work authorization (many candidates are on F-1 visas), and preferred internship track. Applicants complete on a laptop or phone.

Use conditional logic to surface program-specific questions (engineering intern gets stack + coding-project prompts; marketing intern gets writing sample + campaign question), and to filter for start date + duration fit.

Every submission auto-acknowledges the applicant and routes to the university-relations coordinator or program lead via webhook.

Questions we get a lot

Operator and signer questions about security, integrations, jurisdiction, and configuration.

Are submissions secure?
Yes. Every submission is encrypted in transit and at rest. Add a custom subdomain on paid plans so the form lives on your own URL through the entire flow.
Can I collect a resume or supporting files from the intern applicant?
Yes. The template ships a file upload field with configurable size and file-type limits. PDF, DOC, DOCX, and PNG/JPG all supported.
Can I auto-acknowledge the intern applicant after they submit?
Yes. Turn on Autoresponder Email so the applicant gets an acknowledgement the moment they submit. Attach the completed application as a PDF if your workflow needs it.
Can I route each submission to my ATS or CRM?
Yes. Push each submission via a webhook for real-time delivery, or use Zapier to fan out to your ATS, HRIS, and Slack. Google Sheets sync works if you just need a hiring log.
Can I disqualify applicants automatically?
Yes. Use conditional logic to route applicants based on any answer, or set fields as pass/fail to show a thanks page immediately when a hard requirement is not met.
Is CPT / OPT authorization captured?
Yes. The work-authorization field includes CPT / OPT options for F-1 students. When selected, follow-up fields surface for expected authorization dates and university coordinator contact.
Can I run structured intern-specific screenings?
Yes. Use conditional logic keyed off the internship track to surface program-specific screening questions (coding project for engineering, writing sample for marketing, case study for consulting).
