In 2023, Princeton in Africa is expanding our model to pilot Nexus! Princeton in Africa Nexus will pair 5 Africa Fellows educated and resident on the African continent with 5 Fellows educated at U.S. accredited institutions in the same fellowship host organizations on the African continent for a co-fellow exchange of skills, knowledge, leadership, and technical expertise. The Nexus is an addition to PiAf’s signature fellowship program tailored for young leaders educated at a U.S.-accredited institution!

The Princeton Nexus Fellowship is a fully-funded scholarship for Africa-based entrepreneurs working at the intersection of technology, engineering, and the social sciences. Fellows receive a $50,000 stipend, as well as health insurance and travel support, to pursue a one-year fellowship at Princeton University.

The fellowship is open to entrepreneurs who are based in Africa and working on technology- or engineering-based solutions to social and economic challenges. Fellows must have a demonstrable track record of success in their field, and be able to articulate how their work is impacting society and creating positive change.

The fellowship is designed to support entrepreneurs as they take their work to the next level, whether that means expanding their reach, deepening their impact, or developing new and innovative solutions. Fellows will have access to Princeton’s world-class faculty and resources, as well as a network of like-minded entrepreneurs and changemakers.

If you’re an Africa-based entrepreneur working

The program is designed to enrich our Fellows’ experience and professional growth on the African continent and bring young professionals educated in African institutions into our community of nearly 700 alumni spanning all over the world.
