Enrollment and Student Success

Eligibility

It is the student's responsibility to review and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.  Funding is dependent on students meeting all requirements and funding will not be distributed if a student is found ineligible at any time during the funding semester.

Eligibility Requirements

  1. Students must be currently enrolled full-time or part-time in any degree program at GW during the application and internship period.
  2. Awardees may only receive a grant once during his or her academic career at GW. Past KACIF recipients are not eligible to reapply for future funding.
  3. All applicants should be in good academic standing and the award is contingent upon the student maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.5 for undergraduate students or 2.8 for graduate students.
  4. First-year undergraduate students may apply for funding for the summer after their first academic year of study, i.e., an undergraduate student who begins in the fall can apply for summer funding.
  5. Graduate students enrolled in the first semester of their degree program may apply for subsequent semesters, i.e., a graduate student who begins in the fall can apply for spring funding.
  6. International students, who fit into the categories above are eligible to apply, but should first understand how the award would affect their taxes.

Non-eligible Students

  1. Exchange students and non-degree students are NOT eligible.
  2. Previous KACIF recipients are NOT eligible, as awardees may only receive a grant once during his or her academic career at GW.
  3. Students who do not meet the GPA requirements are NOT eligible.
  4. First-year undergraduate students are NOT eligible until the summer following their first academic year of study. GW encourages first-year students to prioritize academics, explore campus life, and become active participants in the GW community.
  5. Incoming graduate students who have not begun their degree program are NOT eligible.
  6. Graduating students will NOT be eligible for any semester following graduation (e.g., if a student graduates in May, they will not be eligible for a grant for the subsequent summer).
