Learning, interaction, and reflection are prioritised in the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme, which is a transformative experience. The fellowship adventure starts with an immersive year at the London School of Economics and Political Science, focused on important learning Modules, for both our Residential Fellows and our Non-Residential Fellows. Fellows must give the year their whole attention as they join a community that supports, challenges, and deepens their study and practise. It is a difficult and intense year.

There are two tracks available for the fellowship programme: Residential and Non-Residential. Participants in both tracks engage in demanding academic coursework, the development of their leadership and skill sets, and real-world strategies for promoting social change.
Eligibility requirements
The following eligibility requirements must be met by applicants for the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity initiative.
RESIDENTIAL COMPANIONS
- The MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at the London School of Economics has entry requirements. A 2:1 or equivalent degree in any discipline is one of these prerequisites. It is advantageous but not necessary to have a foundation in social science or job experience in the field of social policy. For complete information, please visit the LSE website.
- The LSE’s standard English Language Requirement must be met by applicants.
- Candidates must have a minimum of seven years of experience exhibiting bravery, concern, leadership, and dedication to advocating just solutions to injustice.
- Note: Candidates for the Residential track will not typically be selected if they have earned a PhD, have just completed an MSc, or are presently enrolled in graduate school.
NONRELIGIOUS FELLOWS
- We want to be inclusive and promote applications from non-conventional applicants for the Non-Residential track. Therefore, we encourage both applicants with undergraduate degrees (2:2 and above) and those without university degrees to apply.
- The LSE’s standard English Language Requirement must be met by applicants.
- Candidates must have a minimum of seven years of experience exhibiting bravery, concern, leadership, and dedication to advocating just solutions to injustice.
Household Track
- Residential Fellows participate in the customised AFSEE Modules as well as a full-time, one-year MSc in Inequalities and Social Science at LSE. Because of this, the Residential track is only appropriate for those who can commit to full-time study for a complete academic year.
- During the MSc programme, Residential Fellows are obliged to relocate to London. Residential Fellows will be expected to reside in London starting in September 2024 for the 2024–25 cohort.
- A thorough, interdisciplinary, and complete programme, the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science draws on the knowledge of top professors in LSE departments like Sociology, Social Policy, Media and Communications, Economics, Gender, Government, and Methodology. A solid foundation in the study, measurement, and structures of inequalities is provided by the program’s core course. There are also other elective courses available, catering to a wide range of interests.
ASSISTANCE AND FINANCE
- Residential Fellows are supported by a committed LSE academic mentor, the AFSEE Academic Lead through regular check-ins and monthly meetings, and there are additional engagement opportunities available throughout the year.
- The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity program’s residential track has all available funding. The MSc Inequalities and Social Science course’s entire tuition fees, travel to and from London at the start and conclusion of the active fellowship year, and any costs associated with immigration and visas are all covered by the AFSEE programme. A £23,000 stipend will also be given to each Residential Fellow to help with living expenses while they are in London.
Unrestricted Track
- Through a series of different, in-depth AFSEE Modules and practice-based project work, Non-Residential Fellows are given the rare chance to study inequities over a 12-month period. They receive a Postgraduate Certificate in Social and Economic Equity after successfully completing the active fellowship year.
- Non-Residential Fellows travel to attend in-person Modules while remaining based at their places of residence and employment. This fellowship track is perfect for those who are unable to take a full year off from employment because to the decreased time and geographical commitment. In addition to their Module obligations, they will need to set aside time (about five hours each week) for reading, coursework, and project work.
ASSISTANCE AND FINANCE
- Each Non-Residential Fellow is supported by a committed mentor who has been chosen for their knowledge and experience in the Fellow’s key area.
- The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity program’s Non-Residential track has all available funding. The Postgraduate Certificate is covered by the AFSEE programme, along with all associated travel and lodging charges, module-related expenditures, and any visa fees. Additionally, each Non-Residential Fellow will receive a grant of up to £10,000 to help fund the completion of their fellowship project.
