Princeton in Asia

Princeton in Asia (PiA) is an independent non-profit organization affiliated with and located on-campus at Princeton University. Founded by Princeton students in 1898, the program fosters mutual appreciation and cross-cultural understanding between the United States and Asia through immersive work fellowships in host organizations and communities. PiA aims to contribute to building a world where individuals share a mutual appreciation and respect for the diversity of cultures and perspectives and cultivates life-long bridges to Asia. The fellowship program offers Fellows a change in perspective, a job that matters and a community for life. Fellows receive an immersive, paid work opportunity at a host organization in Asia with a local stipend paid by the host organization. The program is geared toward recent college graduates who have their bachelor's degree by July 1 of the application year. People with advanced degrees (Master's only, no PhDs) are accepted, especially for non-teaching posts. The fellowship is open to all majors and provides comprehensive support including health and safety resources, language grants, and assistance with student loan deferments.
