These programs are connected to Princeton University but are open to graduating seniors and young alumni from any college or university accredited in the United States. The Princeton in Asia and Princeton in Africa programs are open to citizens of any nation; Princeton in Latin America is open to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents only.
Deadlines for these programs fall in late October or early November each year. Please consult the appropriate program website.
Princeton in Africa
Princeton in Africa matches talented and passionate college graduates with organizations working across Africa for yearlong service placements. Fellows have helped improve education and public health, source fresh water and alternative energy, increase family incomes, and more. Office hours (2022 application cycle) are available with the Princeton in Africa staff! Please note that there are fees associated with participation in the Princeton in Africa program. The Office of Student Fellowships has support to cover these costs for student or alumni applicants with demonstrated financial need.
Princeton in Asia
Princeton in Asia provides transformative, service-oriented experiences for bright, talented graduates and works to serve the needs of Asia as determined by its host institutions and Asian partners. The program arranges yearlong fellowships and internships with Asian host organizations in the following areas: Arts and Culture; Economic Development; Education; Environmental Sustainability; Peace, Justice, and Access to Information; Public Health; Sports; and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Sign up for a 2024 information session!
Princeton in Latin America
Princeton in Latin America (open to US Citizens and Permanent Residents; international students should contact PiLA to see if they are eligible because occasional arrangements are made) matches partner NGO and multilateral organizations engaged in socially responsible development projects in Latin America and the Caribbean with highly qualified and motivated recent college graduates who are interested in year-long service fellowship opportunities throughout the region. Princeton in Latin America has suspended new applications at this point, in order to place fellows whose placements were deferred due to the pandemic.
