I am not a Princeton student. Do I have to be at Princeton for the interviews in January and pre-departure orientation in June? Can PiAf cover these costs?
Interviews:
PiAf is now conducting all interviews virtually. Interviews will take place in January and more information will be provided in mid-December to those applicants who are invited to interview.
Pre-departure Orientation:
The pre-departure orientation program is mandatory for all Fellows. Orientation lasts 4-5 days and Fellows are required to be present for its entirety. Unfortunately, PiAf is unable to cover the costs of bringing Fellows to Princeton for orientation; applicants must be prepared to cover these costs themselves. However, housing and meals will be covered while in Princeton for orientation.

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.
