Schmitt: Indiana Senate Republicans offering paid spring internships

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

STATEHOUSE (Aug. 17, 2026) — The Indiana Senate Republican Caucus is offering paid spring-semester internships in its communications, information technology, legal, legislative, page and policy offices during the 2027 session of the Indiana General Assembly, said State Sen. Daryl Schmitt (R-Jasper).

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.

Interns earn a $900 biweekly stipend and benefit from 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 or early January. The incoming intern class will conclude their work at the end of the 2027 legislative session, which by law must end by April 29.

"The Senate Republican internship program helps teach young adults important skills they will need throughout their career and experience how their government operates," Schmitt said. "I encourage anyone eligible to consider applying for this internship."
