STATEHOUSE (Oct. 22, 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. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) and Alan Morrison (R-Brazil). 

Heaton 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.

"Our internship program allows students to actively participate in the legislative process and offers valuable experience that can lead to exciting career opportunities," Heaton said. "I encourage students and recent graduates to apply before the deadline."

Morrison 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.

"With opportunities to work in different departments, this internship gives students the chance to align their experience with their academic interests," Morrison said. "It's a tremendous opportunity to expand your skills and explore new career paths."

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.
