INTERNSHIP OFFER LETTER FAQ
What is an Internship Offer Letter?
An Internship Offer Letter is a formal document that extends an internship position to a candidate and summarizes essential terms such as title, department, supervisor, dates, schedule, compensation or stipend, and conditions of the offer.
Why is an Internship Offer Letter important?
It aligns expectations, reduces misunderstandings, and provides a clear record of the role and terms. For paid or academic-credit internships, it also supports HR compliance and school documentation.
When should you use this template?
Use it after selecting a candidate and completing any required screenings, but before the intern’s start date. It’s suitable for paid, unpaid (where lawful), and credit-bearing internships.
What should it include?
Include position details, start and end dates, work schedule, location (onsite, hybrid, remote), compensation or stipend, credit arrangements, required documents, confidentiality and IP terms, and contingencies (e.g., background check).
Is an offer letter the same as an internship agreement?
Not exactly. The offer letter summarizes key terms. Many organizations also attach or reference a separate internship agreement or policy handbook for detailed conditions.
