The Indiana General Assembly offers an excellent internship program which extends to Indiana college students unique academic, governmental and political opportunities. Democrats and Republicans in both the Senate and the House of Representatives are excited to provide this hands-on opportunity to approximately 50 qualifying students from around the state. Internships are full-time positions at the Statehouse while the legislature is in session.
College credit is determined by the student's university or college.
The positions are partisan, so those students who are Democrats should apply with both the Senate and House Democrat caucuses. Republicans should do likewise. Applying with both caucuses, doubles a student's chance of getting to participate in the program. Appointments are made on a competitive basis with attention given to academic record, work-related experiences, and the value of the internship to the student. The Senate Democrats hire 11 students.
