Whether it's appropriate or not, I generally do it after the initial contact. e.g., if I am first inquiring about the position it is formal, once I get a response back from them I use their first name. It sometimes depends on the tone though. If they seem more formal (even if they begin using my first name) I will continue to address them formally.
What kind of internships are you looking for?
