Interested and qualified candidates must be college students, recent graduates, or enrolled in graduate or law school. Positions are open to Indiana residents or non-residents who attend a college or university located within the state.

Benefits include a $700 bi-weekly stipend, scholarship opportunities, earned academic credits, resume building, community involvement and networking while working along with more than 40 fellow interns at the Indiana Statehouse located in downtown Indianapolis.

These are full-time positions that begin with a mandatory orientation in late December and conclude at the end of the legislative session in March 2016.

When interning with the Senate, students gain time-management, communication and problem-solving skills that will serve them well in any career field.

Our highly regarded intern program is a great springboard for students in all majors, and often leads to more opportunities after the conclusion of the internship. In fact, many of the full-time staff at the Senate previously participated in our intern program.

I encourage anyone interested in state government or public service to apply for this unique and rewarding opportunity.

More information and applications for full-time, spring internships can be found online at www.IndianaSenate Republicans.com/intern-program. The application deadline is Oct. 31.
