The internships last the duration of the legislative session.<\/p>\n<p>Students should plan to live in or near Indianapolis, because of the varied work schedule. A $700 bi-weekly stipend is paid to help with expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Media interns will gain practical experience in helping prepare and distribute news releases, guest columns, letters to the editor, direct mail, e-newsletters, e-invitations, Web updates, radio feeds, pod-casts and video productions. Legislative interns will work alongside senators and legislative assistants in responding to constituent calls, letters and e-mails, as well as staffing Senate committees and assisting with actual floor proceedings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Credit<\/strong><br \/>\nAcademic credit for the internship varies from college to college and is arranged between the interns and their academic advisors. Interns often arrange correspondence or independent courses. A three-credit-hour state government course, conducted at the Statehouse throughout the session, is available to all interns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scholarship Opportunities<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the end of each year&#8217;s legislative session, Verizon Communications offers a $3,000 scholarship to the top intern from each of the caucuses &#8211; Republican and Democrat. Additionally, each caucus awards a $1,000 scholarship in memory of longtime Senate staffer Rick Gudal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Information<\/strong><br \/>\nFor more information about internships with the Indiana Senate Republicans, students may also call intern coordinators toll-free at 800-382-9467.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An e-mail from Indiana Senators David Long and Tom Wyss: Related Images:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[1098,572],"class_list":["post-7496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-legislature","tag-david-long","tag-tom-wyss"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Senate GOP Seeks Interns;
