Become a Fellow

All Fellows make an annual charitable subscription to the work of the RSA. If you’re aged 18-25, you can join us for just £59 a year. That’s just shy of a 75% discount to become an RSA Fellow.

The RSA is a space where I can come and work extremely effectively, where I can meet other people and then there were a whole load of benefits that I didn't even realise – an incredible library, amazing Fellows who I get to chat to over lunch who are doing all kinds of wonderful and interesting things, and now I can invite other people to the RSA and collaborate with them.
