Senior Fellowship
AFSEE Fellowship is a lifelong journey. After the active fellowship year, Fellows start their Senior Fellowship journeys, where they have access to a variety of funding, initiatives, and collaborative projects to support their professional development, learning, and knowledge exchange, and to expand their networks. They join the AFSEE Senior Fellows community, which currently comprises of over 100 Senior Fellows, spanning six cohorts and over 50 countries.
To hear our Fellows thoughts on Senior Fellowship,read Senior Fellow Anjali Sarker's recent blog 'Senior Fellowship: Continuing Quest for Equity and Justice' and watch the short video below where our Senior Fellows discuss their AFSEE journey highlights.
AFSEE's Lifelong Engagement
When Fellows join the AFSEE programme, they commit to doing so even after their active fellowship year ends, and for as long as the AFSEE programme exists. This commitment is embodied by AFSEE’s Lifelong Engagement approach for its Senior Fellows. AFSEE Senior Fellows continue to engage with the AFSEE programme and the wider AFSEE community through a variety of ways.
Funding
Senior Fellows are eligible to apply for a variety of individual funds to aid their work on tackling social and economic inequalities. These individual funds are designed to bolster their Connectivity, Participation, Professional Development, and Resilience.
Governance
Senior Fellows are encouraged to participate in the governance of the AFSEE programme. This can be either via serving as the Senior Fellows Representative on the AFSEE Governing Board or by participating on the AFSEE Programme Committee.

Senior Fellows continue to receive regular communications from the AFSEE team as well as community-building opportunities such as the AFSEE Town Halls, online cohort reunions, and the Leadership Summit.
