Nutrition Program Application Form

Streamline Your Nutrition Program Admissions with Paperform

If you're running a dietetics, nutrition science, or public health nutrition program, you know that managing applications can be overwhelming. Between tracking clinical versus community track preferences, coordinating internship rotations, assessing RD exam readiness, and matching students with research opportunities, the administrative workload quickly adds up.

This Nutrition Program Application template is designed specifically for universities, colleges, and professional nutrition programs that need a comprehensive, organized way to collect student information, assess qualifications, and route applications efficiently.

Why This Template Works for Nutrition Programs

Traditional paper applications or generic forms simply don't capture the nuanced information nutrition program directors need. This template includes:

• Track selection between clinical nutrition (hospital, medical settings) and community nutrition (public health, wellness programs)
• Internship rotation preferences across multiple specialty areas including pediatrics, oncology, sports nutrition, and community health
• RD exam preparation status to understand where applicants are in their credential journey
• Research interest mapping to pair students with faculty mentors and lab opportunities
• Prerequisites and academic background specific to dietetics requirements

By bringing all this information into one organized, professional form, you can evaluate candidates more effectively and make smarter admissions decisions.

Perfect for Universities, Allied Health Schools, and Coordinated Programs

Whether you're managing a Coordinated Program in Dietetics (CP), a Dietetic Internship (DI), or a Master's in Nutrition Science, this template adapts to your needs. It's ideal for:

• Nutrition department chairs and program directors who need to streamline admissions
• Student affairs coordinators handling enrollment and track placement
• Preceptor coordinators managing internship site preferences and rotations
• Graduate program administrators in public health, clinical nutrition, or food science

Save Time, Improve Student Placement, and Reduce Administrative Burden

Manual application processing means hours spent sorting through PDFs, chasing missing documents, and trying to match students with appropriate tracks and rotations. With Paperform, your nutrition program application:

• Collects everything in one place – personal details, academic records, track preferences, rotation rankings, and research interests
• Uses conditional logic to show clinical-specific questions only to clinical track applicants, or community health questions to those interested in population-focused nutrition
• Integrates with your existing systems – send applications directly to your CRM, Google Sheets, Airtable, or student information system
• Accepts supporting documents like transcripts, letters of recommendation, and DPD verification statements through secure file uploads

Program coordinators report saving 10+ hours per admissions cycle by switching from email-and-PDF workflows to a single, organized Paperform submission pipeline.

Designed with Brand Flexibility and Security in Mind

Your nutrition program has its own identity, and your application form should reflect that. With Paperform's document-style editor, you can:

• Add your university logo, program photos, and campus imagery
