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 State Reps. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City) and Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown). 

Prescott 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.

“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.”

Rowray 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.

“I always look forward to working with each new group of interns and seeing their professional growth,” Rowray said. “I encourage eligible students to take advantage of this opportunity.”

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.

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.
