Thanks for your interest in Rockefeller Center Student Programs!

We've simplified the process to apply:

1. Complete the online application for the program that you would like to be considered for.  You must do so before the stated application deadline (11:59 PM, unless otherwise noted).  You can find application deadlines listed on our online calendar.
2. Please be prepared to include a bio in the application form.  See a sample bio here.
3. We'd like to know more about your academic and professional experiences. Consider using LinkedIn as your tool for doing this. You can upload your most current resume to your LinkedIn profile. We will ask for your LinkedIn public profile URL as part of the online application.  Consider attending one of the workshops we host with Career Services each term to set up and improve your profile on LinkedIn.  This is an important tool for securing internship and job opportunities, as well as for career exploration and professional development.
   
4. If a written proposal is required, please submit as a PDF attachment and submit by email before the stated application deadline.
5. If a recommendation is required, please provide your recommender with our handout and instructions on how to complete the recommendation online by the stated application deadline.
6. If a supervisor acceptance is required, please provide your internship supervisor with the web link (found below) to complete the acceptance form online by the stated application deadline.

If you are a faculty member or administrator - please complete the online recommendation form. You can better prepare for the online form by quickly looking at this helpful one page handout.

If you are an internship supervisor - please complete the online acceptance form online.

If you are a student - please complete the steps below based on what program you are applying for.  We will be posting tip sheets for each program area below.  Please review these tip sheets, as they will give you any special questions that need to be answered as part of your online application.  You should only be submitting one application form, so you will make best use of your time if you have already thought about, and perhaps drafted responses to, any special questions.
