IREX seeks academic and professional experts to read and score application for the 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders.
Over the course of the first four years of the Fellowship, we received over 180,000 applications for 3,000 Fellow slots, so your talents and expertise in helping score applications are greatly appreciated.
The Mandela Washington Fellowship is the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), designed to support young African leaders as they spur growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Africa. In the summer of 2018, the Mandela Washington Fellowship will bring as many as 700 young leaders to the United States for academic coursework and leadership training and will create unique opportunities in Africa for Fellows to put new skills to practical use in leading organizations, communities, and countries.

Please note that we are only able to pay readers who have a U.S. mailing address and payments can only be made by check, not money transfer
