Funding for Unpaid Internships: KACIF Application NOW OPEN!


KACIF Spring 2024 Application NOW OPEN!

The Knowledge in Action Career Internship Fund (KACIF) Spring 2024 application period is here! Applications are being accepted now through Wednesday, November 15th.

The GW Career Services Council established KACIF to encourage GW students to pursue high-quality unpaid internships that foster career exploration and enhance their academic program, while reducing the financial challenges associated with unpaid internships.

KACIF provides grants ranging from $750 to $3,000 to GW undergraduate and graduate students pursuing domestic and international internships that are necessarily unpaid.

Interested students can go to the KACIF website to review more information, including eligibility requirements and application instructions. Applications will be accepted through November 15, 2023. In order to get funding into successful applicants’ hands by the start of their internships, there will be NO application deadline extensions.

Please note, practicums or internships that are required as a part of a program curriculum are not eligible to receive grants from the KACIF fund. Also, if you have received a KACIF grant before, you are ineligible.If you have questions about KACIF, please email gwkacif@gwu.edu.
