How will COVID-19 affect the 2023-24 fellowship year?
PiAf fellowships have moved back onsite, but PiAf staff continue to actively monitor ongoing developments in the COVID-19 pandemic. There are a number of factors, such as sustained open borders, recommendations from the CDC and State Department and visa issuance, and the willingness of host organizations to have Fellows come onsite, that remain outside of our control should the COVID-19 situation worsen. Please note that vaccinations will be required for all PiAf Fellows.

Our History
In 1999, a group of Princeton alumni, faculty, and staff launched Princeton in Africa as an independent affiliate of Princeton University inspired by the University’s informal motto, “Princeton in the Nation’s Service and in the Service of All Nations.” In 2010, the program opened up to include graduates of any US accredited university in order to meet the growing demand from host organizations and allow more young professionals access to the unique opportunities afforded by PiAf. During the past 20 years, we have placed over 600 Fellows with more than 100 organizations in 36 countries, while developing more strategic partnerships across Africa and creating more opportunities for our alumni community to engage with the continent and with one another.
