What is the purpose of the “Alternative Plans” question? I am considering applying to other programs. Will this negatively affect my application?
We recognize that applicants have diverse interests and may submit applications to other programs or organizations. This does not, in any way, affect your consideration for our fellowship. This information helps us get a better sense of you and what kind of fellowship post might be a good match.

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.
