The Princeton in Africa board voted to eliminate the application fees for the PiAf program. Starting this application cycle, all applicants for the Princeton in Africa Program ( Nexus Program for Africa & America Fellows and General Fellowship Program) will not have to pay an application fee.
This improvement to the Princeton in Africa Program is made possible by the dedicated generosity of our partners through the years. With this decision, we aim to increase access for qualified applicants with diverse social and economic backgrounds and provide a life-changing opportunity for our selected Fellows. They will contribute skill, experience, and technical expertise to our host organizations on the African continent.
The Princeton in Africa 2023-2024 application cycle is open now and will close by October 26th, 2022. APPLY HERE.
