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

State Rep. Matt Lehman (R-Berne) 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.

"Now is a great time to submit your application to join our team as an intern and get a better understanding of how our state government operates," Lehman said. "I look forward to working with young Hoosier professionals who are eager to jump into the fast-paced legislative session and make a positive impact."

State Rep. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City) 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.

"This is a great opportunity for students to build their resumes while gaining real-life work experience," Prescott said. "This internship program can be rewarding and serve as a jump start to a future career."

Interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.

The program provides 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.
