STATEHOUSE (Aug. 22, 2024) – Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. Bruce Borders (R-Jasonville) and Shane Lindauer (R-Jasper).

Borders 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.

"Our internship program is a fantastic way for students to dive into the workings of state government," Borders said. "I encourage those with a passion for public service to apply and take part in shaping Indiana's future."

Lindauer 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.

"All of our interns' contributions are really invaluable during legislative sessions," Lindauer said. "This program's benefits are many, including developing job skills and networking with state leaders."

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.
