The deadline for applying to the Indiana House Republican internship for the 2025 legislative session is nearing, with applications closing on October 31. This opportunity, as highlighted by local legislators, offers a full-time internship from Monday to Friday at the Statehouse in Indianapolis during the legislative session starting in January and ending in April.

State Representative Dave Hall (R-Norman) emphasized the educational value of this internship. "Interning at the Statehouse is not only educational, but it also helps students stand out in today's competitive job market," Hall stated. Interns will receive $900 biweekly and may earn academic credit through their college or university.

Representative Bob Heaton (R-Terre Haute) encouraged eligible college sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, and recent graduates from all majors to apply via indianahouserepublicans.com/internship before the deadline. "Our internship program allows students to actively participate in the legislative process and offers valuable experience that can lead to exciting career opportunities," Heaton noted.

Additionally, Representative Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) pointed out that interns benefit from free parking, career development assistance, and access to an Indiana government class. They can also apply for a $3,000 scholarship for undergraduate or graduate expenses. "Interns gain a better understanding of how our state government works while building a strong professional network," Mayfield remarked.

The program provides various departmental opportunities aligned with students' fields of study, including legislative operations, policy, and communications. Applications must be submitted online by October 31.
