Overview
The Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity (AFSEE) is a fully funded fellowship hosted by the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). It brings together mid-career leaders from around the world who are working to tackle systemic inequality across social, economic, and political domains.

  • Residential track applicants must meet LSE’s admission criteria for the MSc in Inequalities and Social Science (typically a 2:1 degree or equivalent) and English language requirements

  • Non-Residential track applicants should also have strong experience; an undergraduate degree is recommended, though exceptional professional experience may be considered

  • Current students must complete any ongoing degree before the fellowship begins in September 2026

  • Non-Residential track: Fellows remain in their home countries to carry out social impact work while joining online and in-person learning modules

Both tracks focus on deepening understanding of inequality and building strategies for real-world change. Fellows also join a lifelong global community of leaders committed to equity.
