Princeton in Asia fosters mutual appreciation and cross-cultural understanding between the United States and Asia through immersive work fellowships in host organizations and communities. The Program believes in the power of person-to-person diplomacy and strives to shape a world where individuals share a mutual appreciation and respect for the planet’s diversity of cultures and perspectives.

Since 1898, they have placed over 3,400 people in immersive fellowships and internships in over 30 different countries and regions throughout Asia.

Princeton in Asia fellowships are 1- or 2-year immersive work placements at host organizations in Asia that span a variety of issue areas:

• Arts and Culture
• Economic Development
• Education
• Environmental Sustainability
• Peace, Justice, and Access to Information
• Public Health
• Sports
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)

Fellows must hold a Bachelor's degree. Applicants are generally college seniors or recent college graduates. There is no age limit for Fellows.

While Princeton in Asia does not restrict eligibility based on US citizenship or residency status, all candidates must present a compelling rationale for how they will contribute to the Program's mission of United States-Asia exchange.
