Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to area lawmakers.

State Rep. Dave Hall (R-Norman) stated that 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.

"Being a Statehouse intern offers a front-row seat to the legislative process and the chance to contribute to meaningful work," Hall said. "We are excited to welcome a new cohort in 2025."

State Rep. Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) mentioned that internships are open to college students and recent graduates of all majors. Interns receive 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.

"The Statehouse internship program is an excellent platform for students to develop their professional skills and meet leaders from across the state," Heaton said. "I strongly encourage interested individuals who are eligible to apply."

State Rep. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) noted that interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

"Serving as a House intern is a great way to gain practical experience in public service," Mayfield said. "We invite students who are passionate about making a positive impact to apply for our 2025 program."

The program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy, and communications.

Indiana House Republican intern recruiters will be available on Aug. 23 and Sept. 25 at Indiana University during the Career Exploration and Student Employment Fair and the All Industries Career & Internship Fair. Visit hire.iu.edu to register for the events.

Applications are available online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship and are due by Oct. 31.
