Due to the current global health situation, and with the safety and well-being of Fellows and Partners as the highest priority, the U.S. Department of State has postponed the 2020 Mandela Washington Fellowship until summer 2021. Applicants for the 2020 Fellowship who were selected as Finalists and Alternates have been notified that they are eligible to defer their participation until summer 2021.
This is an emerging situation, and we encourage you to continue to check the Mandela Washington Fellowship’s websiteperiodically for future program updates.
IREX, the cooperative agency that implements the Mandela Washington Fellowship, and Purdue University are operating and open globally, and our team members are working virtually. Please contact Gary Burniske at grburniske@purdue.edu with any additional questions. The Fellowship Team at IREX may be reached at MWFellowship@irex.org.
