## Benefits of the Atlantic Fellows Program
The Fellowships are available in TWO fully-funded tracks:
- **Atlantic Residential Fellowship**: supports applicants in taking the one year MSc Inequalities and Social Science (MISS), with dedicated mentorship, as well as engaging with the wider work of the Atlantic Fellows program (such as the Annual conference and Non-Residential Fellows activities).
- **Atlantic Non-Residential Fellowship**: a unique opportunity to study via a series of distinct, comprehensive short courses, with both academic and in-the-field work, comprising around seven weeks in total throughout the year. Non-Residential Fellows remain based in their home and professional environments, and travel to attend the Modules. The Non-Residential Fellows will undertake practical project work, and contribute to the Annual Conference and other activities as part of the Atlantic Fellows program.
Please see the full list of detailed benefits for the respective fellowships:
Residential Fellowship:
- Residential Fellows receive support from a dedicated LSE academic mentor, from the AFSEE Academic Lead through monthly meetings and regular check-ins, and via further opportunities for engagement offered throughout the year.

The fellowship includes full tuition fees, an £18,000 stipend to cover living costs while in London, travel to and from Cape Town for the South Africa module, and travel to and from London at the beginning and end of the active fellowship, including reimbursement of visa fees.
- Modest financial support is available for Fellows who have family care responsibilities. The program also has a Resilience Fund to which Fellows can apply in the event of emergencies. Further information is available upon request.
Non-Residential Fellowship:
- Each Non-Residential Fellow receives support from a dedicated mentor who has been selected for expertise and experience in the Fellow’s area of focus.
- The Non-Residential Track of the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity program is a funded fellowship.
