Sen. Perfect: Indiana Senate Republicans Offering Paid Internships

The deadline to apply is October 31.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - The Indiana Senate Republican Caucus is offering paid spring-semester internships in its communications, information technology, legal, legislative and policy offices during the 2021 session of the Indiana General Assembly, said State Sen. Chip Perfect (R-Lawrenceburg).

Qualified candidates may be of any major and must be at least a college sophomore. Recent college graduates as well as graduate and law school students are also encouraged to apply. Positions are open to Indiana residents as well as nonresidents who attend a college or university in Indiana.

Interns earn a $750 biweekly stipend and benefit from the scholarship and academic credit opportunities, professional development, community involvement, and networking.

Senate internships are full-time positions at the Statehouse in downtown Indianapolis that typically begin with a mandatory orientation in late December and conclude at the end of the legislative session in April 2021. The Indiana Senate is currently developing plans to conduct legislative work amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and, as always, strives to provide a safe working environment for all interns, staff, and senators.

"I strongly encourage those who are looking to gain real-world experience to apply for our internship program," Perfect said. "Indiana is a part-time legislature, and one benefit is that elected officials can have private careers and be subject-matter experts in certain areas of policy. As such, we want our interns to be from varied backgrounds as well, so they can explore their interests and learn skillsets needed to excel in the workforce."
