List your background. Write your school, program and year, then the courses, class projects, clubs, volunteering and part-time jobs that relate to the internship. Plain notes are fine, and specific details make a stronger letter.
Paste the internship posting. Copy the whole posting, including what interns will do and who can apply, so the letter can match your experience to those tasks.
Write the letter. Press the button to get a letter of 220 to 300 words that connects your coursework and activities to the internship.
Check and send. Read the letter aloud, make sure every detail is true and sounds like you, then paste it into the application or attach it as a document.

What the tool wrote

Dear Clearwater Watershed Alliance team,

I am applying for the Summer Water Quality Intern position. I am a second-year environmental science student at Ridgeview Community College, and your internship lines up closely with the work I have done in my courses and as a volunteer.

My coursework includes field ecology, statistics and GIS mapping. For a class project, I mapped storm drain outlets on campus and presented the map to the facilities office. That project gave me practice turning what I found in the field into a map that other people could use, which connects directly to your need for help updating maps of monitoring sites. My statistics course also relates to the field data your interns will help enter.

Working outdoors is familiar to me. I have spent 2 seasons on the creek cleanup crew with Friends of Mill Creek, working along the creek with other volunteers. Alongside my classes, I also work 10 hours a week as a library desk assistant, so I am used to balancing a job with my studies.

This internship would let me put my environmental science courses to work in the field while helping your staff collect stream samples, enter field data and keep monitoring maps up to date. I would welcome the chance to talk with you about how I could contribute this summer.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Jordan Lee

Frequently asked questions

What can I write in an internship cover letter with little work experience?

Use what you have done so far: courses that taught relevant skills, class projects with a clear result, clubs or teams where you had a role, volunteering and part-time jobs. Say what you did in each and link it to a task in the posting. Employers reading internship applications expect student experience, so describe it plainly rather than apologizing for it.

Should I mention my grades or coursework?

Mention coursework when it connects to the internship's tasks, and name the specific course rather than a general subject. Add grades only if you are comfortable sharing them and they help your case. The tool uses only the details you enter, so include anything you want the letter to mention.

How long should an internship cover letter be?

Keep it to one page. This tool writes 220 to 300 words, enough for a short opening, one or two paragraphs that match your experience to the internship and a brief close. If the application form has a small text box instead, a shorter letter fits better.

Is this internship cover letter generator free?

Yes. It is free and needs no account. Each letter uses one of the 5 free AI generations a day shared by Applystead's free writing tools, and the count starts again at midnight Pacific time. What you type is sent to Applystead only to write the letter and is not stored.

Will the letter claim skills the internship asks for?

No. The posting guides which parts of your background come first, but a requirement in the posting is never written as something you have. If you have a skill the internship wants, add it to your background so the letter can use it.
