STATEHOUSE (Aug. 27, 2024) – Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron) and Sharon Negele (R-Attica). 

Aylesworth 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.

"I encourage all college students and recent graduates to apply for this opportunity," Aylesworth said. "It's a great way for students to earn income while developing skills that will serve them in any career."

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.

"This is an experience that gives students an opportunity to get paid while working for leaders from across the state and develop new skills to grow professionally," Negele said. "I encourage any college student or recent graduate to apply today."

Negele said 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.
