STATEHOUSE – Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to area lawmakers.
State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle) said 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.
“We are thrilled to invite bright and motivated individuals to apply for a 2025 House internship,” Baird said. “This program offers a unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the legislative process and contribute to the betterment of our state.”
State Rep. Sharon Negele (R-Attica) 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.
“This is an experience that gives students an opportunity to get paid while working for leaders from across the state and develop new skills to grow professionally,” Negele said. “I encourage any college student or recent graduate to apply today.”
State Rep. Jeff Thompson (R-Lizton) said interns are also eligible to apply for a competitive $3,000 scholarship to use toward undergraduate and graduate expenses.
“No matter what your major or degree is in, you can apply what you’ve learned to this internship,” Thompson said. “Positions always fill fast, so I encourage eligible Hoosiers to not wait to apply.”
State Rep. Mark Genda (R-Frankfort) said the program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications.
