STATEHOUSE (Oct. 10, 2024) – The Oct. 31 deadline to apply for an Indiana House Republican internship during the 2025 legislative session is fast approaching, according to area lawmakers.
State Rep. Brad Barrett (R-Richmond) said this full-time, spring semester internship is Monday through Friday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and can gain academic credit through their college or university.
“Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of seeing many Statehouse interns go on to do great things in their careers,” Barrett said. “This program is a rewarding opportunity for students to explore different professional pathways while building confidence in their skills."
State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown) said interested college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students and recent graduates of all majors should visit indianahouserepublicans.com/internship to complete the application before Oct. 31.
“As someone who spent years in education, I know how valuable internships can be for a student's personal and professional growth,” Criswell said. “Whether you are interested in law, policy or communications, this internship gives you the skills and connections that can launch you into a great career.”
State Rep. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City) said Indiana House internships include free parking, career and professional development assistance, and enrollment access to an Indiana government class. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
“This internship is an experience students won’t find inside a classroom and a great way for them to learn how government works,” Prescott said. “Don’t miss out on the chance to be part of the legislative process and apply today.”
The program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications.
Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
