INDIANAPOLIS — Applications to intern with Indiana House Republicans for the 2025 legislative session are now open, according to State Reps. David Abbott, R-Rome City, and Craig Snow, R-Warsaw.

Abbott 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.

“Our interns get a better understanding of how state government operates while also gaining valuable skills that employers are looking for in potential candidates,” Abbott said. “This is a great opportunity for students and graduates in the community to gain experience working at the Statehouse.”

Snow 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.

“Through this internship, students can apply what they’ve learned in a variety of ways, including researching policy, helping constituents and serving on the communications team,” Snow said. “The connections made at the Statehouse can lead to great job prospects and I encourage interested Hoosiers to apply.”

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

Snow said the program offers opportunities for students to work in various departments related to their studies, including legislative operations, policy and communications.

Indiana House Republican intern recruiters will be available to talk with area students on Sept. 13 at Purdue University Fort Wayne Mastodon Internship and Career Fair.

Applications are available online and are due by Oct. 31.
