2018 YALI Reader - Non-Alumni

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Mandela Washington Fellowship reader! Please fill out the form to be considered as a reader. Current applicants for the 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship are not eligible to be application readers.

Please note that all applications are read and scored through an online system. You must have consistent access to the internet to be a reader. Due to the nature of the online system, it may be very difficult to read and score applications from a smartphone or tablet.

Readers will read and score applications starting in mid-October.

Readers will read and score a total of 40 applications from early November to early December, and will receive a $100 honorarium for their service by check in the mail. You may also choose to waive your honorarium. Please note that for readers who do not have a US mailing address, we are unable to provide an honorarium due to the high costs of international money transfers. All honoraria payments to eligible readers in the United States will be paid via check. Readers must read and score 40 applications to be eligible to receive the honorarium.

Please allow 60 days after the reading deadline to receive the honorarium check.

Would you like to waive your honorarium? *

Yes, Please accept my honorarium as a tax-deductible donation to IREX for charitable purposes where it is needed most. (Consult your personal tax advisor as this may still be considered taxable income.) No, Please send me my honorarium. I am an IREX employee or U.S. Government employee or Contractor and therefore not eligible for the honorarium.

Please read the following Terms and Conditions and check the box below to accept.

IREX will not withhold federal, state or local taxes. All income from IREX will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

I will be responsible for reading and scoring 40 applications. If for some reason I am unable to complete my assignment, I will notify IREX immediately at mwfreaders@irex.org .
I will not assign any portion of this Agreement to another party without prior written consent of IREX.
Upon completion of the agreed upon services, I will destroy any application copies.
I will not contact program applicants or use the confidential information for any purpose other than what is explicit in the agreed task of evaluating applicants for this program.
I will not disclose any information for any reason regarding the program, applicants, or selection process of the program with which I have worked.
I will let IREX know if I know an applicant and therefore would not be able to score the application impartially by emailing mwfreaders@irex.org. If so, IREX will remove that application and add another.

I understand that no honoraria payments will be made via wire transfer, either domestically or internationally.
