The fellowship can be a great fit for Fellows with some experience if the fellowship seems like a forward step in their career. International students who have recently graduated from a college or university accredited in the US may apply. Please note that, in certain cases, visa eligibility for destination countries may be a determining factor in placement. PiAf does not reserve any spot for Princeton Alumni. Please note that at the end of the day, PiAf tries to make the best matches between its applicants and its fellowship organizations in the field. Also, PiAf must take into consideration candidates\u2019 skills, backgrounds, and preferences as well as its fellowship organizations\u2019 needs. Since 2010 the PiAf program has been open to students and alumni of other colleges and universities accredited in the US. Please direct any mailed application materials to the following address: The PiAf program is 12 months long. Depending on the organizations where you are placed, Fellows will begin work between June and August and will complete their fellowship one year later, between June and August. This timing largely depends on the needs of the fellowship organizations, however. Ensure to let PiAf know early on if you have specific preferences in terms of timing but note that these preferences cannot always be accommodated. PiAf fellowships are only one year long. Some Fellows do remain with their host organization or elsewhere in Africa longer than one year, but they do so in their own capacity. (That is, they receive a job offer from the organization or they make their own arrangements to work\/volunteer for another organization.)<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\nTable of contents<\/h2>
