American Academy in Rome

AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME: Each year, through a national competition, the Rome Prize is awarded to fifteen emerging artists (working in architecture, landscape architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, literature, musical composition, or visual arts) and fifteen scholars (working in ancient, medieval, Renaissance and early modern, or modern Italian studies). The fellowships are designed for emerging artists and for scholars in the early or middle stages of their careers. For scholars, preference will be given to applicants for whom research time in Italy, and especially in Rome, is essential and who have not had extensive prior experience there. The application deadline is 1 November. Each Rome Prize winner is provided with a stipend, meals, a bedroom with private bath, and a study or studio. All winners of eleven-month fellowships receive a stipend of at least $25,000. Applicants for all Rome Prize fellowships, except those applying for the NEH postdoctoral fellowship, must be United States citizens at the time of application. US citizens and those foreign nationals who have lived in the United States for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline may apply for the NEH postdoctoral fellowships. Graduate students in the humanities may apply only for predoctoral fellowships.
