Is Atlantic Fellows one scholarship?
No. Atlantic Fellows is a global network made up of seven separate fellowship programmes. Each programme has its own host institution, focus area, eligibility rules and application calendar.
Are applications open now?
There is no single umbrella application. Some 2026 programme cycles have already closed, while other programmes publish their own future rounds. Applicants should use the individual programme page for live status.
Is the fellowship fully funded?
Support varies. For example, Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity states that programme educational experiences and travel expenses are covered. Other programmes publish different packages, including travel, accommodation, coaching or leadership-development support.
Can Pakistani professionals apply?
Potentially, depending on the programme. Global programmes such as Health Equity have included Fellows from Pakistan, while other Atlantic programmes restrict applicants by geography, identity or issue area.
What does this scholarship actually cover?
Atlantic Fellows is a family of seven equity-focused fellowship programmes rather than one scholarship. Funding and support vary by programme. For example, the Health Equity programme states that all educational experiences and travel costs are covered.
Other verified benefits
