Fellowship

Summarize
Perspective

Fellowship is granted to applicants "who are aligned with the RSA's vision and share in our values."[3] Some prospective fellows are approached by the RSA and invited to join in recognition of their work; some are nominated or "fast-tracked" by existing fellows and RSA staff,[4][5][6] or by partner organisations such as the Churchill Fellowship;[7][8] others make their own applications with accompanied references, which are reviewed by a formal admissions panel consisting of RSA trustees and fellowship councillors.[9][10] As of 2022, the RSA has adopted an inclusive policy and stated that acceptance to the fellowship does not require the applicant to be "a leader in your industry or a CEO of an NGO".[3]

Since its founding in 1754, the RSA Fellowship has grown to 30,000 members (as of 2020)[1] who are distinguished by the post-nominal letters FRSA.

Charles Dickens, Adam Smith, Benjamin Franklin, Karl Marx, Richard Attenborough, William Hogarth, John Diefenbaker, Stephen Hawking, Benson Taylor and Tim Berners-Lee are some of the notable past and present Fellows, and today it has fellows elected from 80 countries worldwide.

Major meetings of Fellows are held at RSA House, an 18th-century building in London.[11] Regional meetings also take place.
