A free application form template for any review workflow.
Collect program, membership, grant, scholarship, rental, volunteer, and job applications with one HTML form. Submissions land in email, dashboard, and your review tools through signed webhooks.
Use sections so long applications stay readable.
Fieldsets make application forms easier to scan and more accessible. Start with personal details, ask the decision-making questions, then collect optional supporting files.

What should an application form include?
Most application forms need personal information, the thing being applied for, eligibility or experience questions, references or links, consent text, and optional file uploads. Keep only fields that change the review decision.
Can I use this as an online application form?
Yes. The form posts directly to splitforms, emails your team, stores the submission in the dashboard, and can forward the application to Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, or a custom review system.
Can applicants upload resumes or documents?
Yes. Add enctype=multipart/form-data to the form and use input type=file for PDFs, DOCX files, images, or supporting documents. Use the accept attribute to guide file type selection.
Is this the same as a job application form?
A job application form is one application-form variant. This template is broader: memberships, programs, scholarships, grants, rentals, volunteer applications, and jobs. Use the dedicated job template when hiring is the only use case.
