Mathematics Program Application Form

Streamline Your Mathematics Graduate Program Applications with Paperform

Admissions to graduate mathematics programs require careful consideration of each candidate's academic background, research interests, and career goals. This Mathematics Program Application Form template is designed specifically for university math departments seeking a professional, efficient way to collect and evaluate applications for their graduate programs.

Built for Academic Institutions and Mathematics Departments

Whether you're managing admissions for a pure mathematics track focused on theoretical research or an applied mathematics program oriented toward real-world problem-solving, this template provides a structured framework that captures all the essential information you need. The form intelligently guides applicants through track selection, research area preferences, teaching assistantship interest, and thesis advisor matching—all in one streamlined experience.

A Form That Looks as Professional as Your Program

First impressions matter in academic recruitment. Unlike generic survey tools that feel impersonal, Paperform's doc-style editor lets you create an application form that reflects your department's academic rigor and brand identity. Add your university logo, customize colors to match your institution's palette, and include welcoming text that speaks directly to prospective graduate students. The result is an on-brand application experience that attracts top-tier candidates.

Conditional Logic That Adapts to Each Applicant

This template uses Paperform's conditional logic to create a personalized application journey. When applicants select the Pure Mathematics track, they see research areas like Algebraic Geometry, Number Theory, and Topology. Choose Applied Mathematics, and the form displays relevant options such as Computational Mathematics, Mathematical Biology, or Financial Mathematics. This intelligent routing ensures you collect track-specific information without overwhelming applicants with irrelevant questions.

The same smart logic applies to teaching assistantship interest—only candidates who express interest see follow-up questions about their teaching experience and availability, keeping the form concise for those focused solely on research.

Seamless Integration with Your Admissions Workflow

University admissions teams juggle multiple systems—student information databases, email platforms, document management tools, and collaboration software. Paperform integrates naturally into your existing tech stack. Send new applications directly to Google Sheets or Airtable for review committees to access, trigger notifications in Slack when high-priority candidates apply, or sync data to your CRM for systematic follow-up.

For departments ready to take automation further, Stepper (stepper.io) can transform each submission into a complete admissions workflow. Automatically route applications to different review committees based on track selection, assign applications to faculty members based on research area overlap, send personalized acknowledgment emails with next steps, and update your student information system—all without manual data entry.

Document Collection Made Simple

Graduate applications require supporting materials: transcripts, letters of recommendation, research statements, and writing samples. This template includes file upload fields that accept PDFs and other common formats, keeping all application materials centrally organized. No more chasing down attachments from scattered email threads.

Support for International Applicants

Mathematics programs attract talent globally. The form can easily be duplicated and localized for international audiences, and Paperform's data residency controls ensure compliance with regional privacy regulations—essential when collecting personal information from applicants worldwide.

Track Research Interests and Advisor Preferences

The template includes fields for applicants to describe their research interests in detail and indicate potential thesis advisors they'd like to work with. This information is invaluable for matching students with faculty mentors and ensuring alignment between candidate interests and departmental strengths. Review committees can quickly identify which faculty members should evaluate each application.

Security and Compliance for Educational Institutions

Educational institutions must handle applicant data with care. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and GDPR-ready, providing the security and privacy controls that universities require. Set up role-based access so only authorized admissions staff can view sensitive information, and rest assured that applicant data is protected with enterprise-grade security.

Designed for Education Professionals

This template is ideal for:

• Graduate program directors managing mathematics PhD or Master's applications
• Academic administrators coordinating admissions across multiple specializations
• Department chairs overseeing faculty-student matching for thesis supervision
• Admissions committees needing structured data for fair, comparable candidate review
