STATEHOUSE (Sept. 3, 2024) – Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. Matt Lehman (R-Berne) and Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash).
Lehman said the Indiana House of Representatives offers a spring semester internship at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will start in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and work full time, Monday through Friday.
"Now is a great time to submit your application to join our team as an intern and get a better understanding of how our state government operates," Lehman said. "I look forward to working with young Hoosier professionals who are eager to jump into the fast-paced legislative session and make a positive impact."
Sweet said internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns get free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through their college or university.
"I encourage local college students and recent graduates to apply for this internship at the Indiana Statehouse," Sweet said. "Young Hoosiers can use what they’ve learned in school and apply their skills during this fast-paced and fun internship opportunity."
Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
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.
