Applications for 2025 Statehouse internships with Indiana House Republicans are now open, according to State Representatives Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) and Tim O'Brien (R-Evansville).

O'Brien noted that the Indiana House of Representatives offers a spring semester internship at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session, which will commence in January and conclude in April. House interns earn $900 biweekly and work full-time, Monday through Friday.

"The Indiana Statehouse is a great place to build connections that can help interns achieve their career goals," O'Brien said. "The internship can lead to a job in state government or a variety of other fields."

McNamara, herself a former House intern, stated 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.

"A House internship is a tremendous opportunity for young Hoosiers to use the knowledge and skills they learned in the classroom and apply it at the Statehouse," McNamara said. "Working during a legislative session can really boost an intern's resume."

Internships are available for 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. Additionally, interns are eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship towards 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 can be submitted online at indianahouserepublicans.com/internship by Oct. 31.

State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) represents House District 76, which includes all of Posey County and part of Vanderburgh County.
