Case Study: Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium achieves streamlined internship application management and improved applicant communication with SurveyMonkey Apply (SurveyMonkey)

Streamline your application and save hours of time

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium runs a busy internship program that connects students with leading scientists and animal care specialists. They struggled with a decentralized, email-based application process—each candidate sent multiple attachment-filled emails for forms, materials, and recommendations—making review slow, error-prone, and time-consuming.

By switching to SurveyMonkey Apply, Mote centralized and customized application workflows, sent instant confirmations to applicants, and gave reviewers immediate access to materials on their own schedules. The new system reduced paperwork and human error, freed staff to focus on mentoring and program development, and improved the applicant experience while helping Mote fulfill its educational mission.
