Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Rep. Stephen Bartels (R-Eckerty).

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.

"Students can apply for a Statehouse internship and earn valuable real-world experience," Bartels said. "An opportunity like this is a vital addition to a resume and often kickstarts an individual's professional career."

Bartels 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. 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.
