Princeton in Africa (PiAf) is a non-profit organization that offers yearlong post-graduate fellowship opportunities with a variety of organizations working across the African continent. PiAf Fellows work in service-oriented positions in many different sectors, including international humanitarian aid, public & community health, business & economic development, agricultural development, and education & youth capacity building. Many of our fellowship organizations are also led by social entrepreneurs. Our organizations include African Leadership Academy, Clinton Health Access Initiative, the International Rescue Committee, the UN World Food Programme, World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and many other organizations – both large and small - doing remarkable work around the African continent. In 2015-16 PiAf has 51 Fellows working in 15 countries with 31 organizations around Africa. Since its launch in 1999, PiAf has placed over 450 Fellows in 36 countries across the continent.
Graduating seniors and young alumni from any college or university accredited in the United States are eligible to apply. Please note that prior Africa experience is NOT a requirement. There is no single background, skill, or experience that makes someone the “perfect” fellowship applicant. Our Fellows are talented and passionate individuals who bring a wide range of skills and experience to our fellowship organizations.
