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]
