Rome Prize fellowships in Historic Preservation and Conservation
Annual Application Deadline:  15 November

The American Academy in Rome is among the leading American overseas
center for independent study and advanced research in the arts and
the humanities. Each year, through a national competition, the
Academy offers Rome Prize fellowships in up to eighteen disciplines.
Jury members, prominent in their disciplines, are drawn from all
regions of the country and change annually. Each Rome Prize
fellowship winner is provided with an award valued at $60,000, which
includes a stipend, room and board, and workspace at the Academy,
whose twelve buildings occupy eleven acres atop the Janiculum, the
highest hill within the walls of Rome. Rome Prize winners pursue
independent projects, which vary in content and scope. To complement
their work, a series of walks, talks and tours in and around Rome,
Italy and the Mediterranean is offered during the year. Rome Prize
fellowships are offered for periods ranging from six months to two
years.  Stipends for the Rome Prize range from $10,000 to $20,000,
depending on the terms of the fellowships. The Rome Prize is offered
in the following disciplines:

School of Fine Arts: Conservation; Graphic Design; Historic
Preservation; Industrial Design; Interior Design; Landscape
Architecture; Literature (awarded by the American Academy of Arts
and Letters); Musical Composition; Set Design; Urban Design; Urban
Planning; Visual Arts

School of Classical Studies: Archaeology; Classical Studies; History
of Art; Modern Italian Studies; Post-Classical Humanistic Studies

Both pre- and post-doctoral fellowships are offered in the School of
