STATEHOUSE (Sept. 13, 2022) – State Reps. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil) and Beau Baird (R-Greencastle) invite local college students and recent graduates of all majors to apply for a paid internship with Indiana House Republicans.
Morrison said House interns will be paid $800 bi-weekly as they work at the Indiana Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis during the 2023 legislative session, which kicks off in January and concludes at the end of April. He said internships are available in several departments and are open to college sophomores, juniors and seniors, graduate students and recent graduates.
"Regardless of major or career plans, interns can find many ways to utilize their talents and make a difference," Morrison said. "From writing and research to communicating with constituents, you'll learn new skills and improve existing ones that will serve you well in any future job."
Paid, spring-semester intern positions are full time, Monday through Friday, and include free parking, career and professional development assistance, enrollment access to an Indiana government class, and opportunities to earn academic credits through the student's college or university. Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
According to Baird, students can apply for internships in a variety of departments related to their field of study, including legislative operations, policy, and communications and media relations.
"Interning with Indiana House Republicans is an opportunity for students and new graduates to build professional contacts with leaders from across the state, and learn more about a variety of industries that could lead to a career," Baird said. "There aren't many internships like this with the potential to open so many doors."
