Why education programs choose Paperform for graduate applications

Built for education administrators, admissions teams, graduate program coordinators, and teacher preparation departments, Paperform replaces scattered PDFs, email chains, and manual data entry with a streamlined application experience that works as hard as your team does.

With this template, you can:

• Request recommendation details and referee contact information in one organized section
• Accept application fees directly through Stripe, PayPal, or Square—no separate payment portal needed

A form that feels like your institution

Admissions forms are often the first real interaction prospective students have with your program. With Paperform's doc-style editor, you can create an application that reflects your institution's brand—add your logo, use your school colors, include welcome videos or program highlights, and write in your authentic voice. Whether you're a research university, teaching college, or alternative certification program, your form can look and feel like an extension of your website, not a generic survey tool.

Choose between a classic scrolling layout for comprehensive applications or Guided Mode for a question-at-a-time experience that reduces overwhelm for applicants juggling teaching jobs and graduate school prep.

Purpose-built features for education applications

This template leverages Paperform's powerful features designed for complex application workflows:

• Conditional logic shows or hides questions based on certification status, teaching experience level, or specialization choice
• File upload fields accept resumes, transcripts, teaching licenses, letters of recommendation, and writing samples
• Calculation fields can handle tiered application fees (early bird rates, alumni discounts, international applicant fees)
• Required fields ensure you never receive incomplete applications missing critical documentation
• Custom success pages provide next steps, program timelines, or links to schedule admissions interviews
