Reimbursement and Payment


If you are seeking both reimbursement for expenses AND a stipend payment, please complete the following:

1. Submit a completed and signed W-9 form.

2. Complete the Independent Contractor form, which will be sent to you via email. Please enter your address on the first and last page and sign on the last page.

3. Submit a copy of your original receipts and proof of payment for any reimbursable expenses. If you are requesting reimbursement for meals you will need to include a list of who attended the meal if there were 10 or fewer attendees.
