KACIF grant leads to internship, job for alumna

When Kiana Barcelona, BA ’17, was a senior at GW, she received a grant from the Knowledge in Action Career Internship Fund (KACIF) that allowed her to secure funding for an unpaid internship. That position allowed her to discover her passion for international development, focus on her post-graduation job search, and ultimately be hired into a role from which she has been promoted two times in the past year.
