Rome Prize

The Rome Prize is an annual fellowship awarded by the American Academy in Rome to artists and scholars for innovative and cross-disciplinary work in the arts and humanities. Each year about thirty fellows are selected across multiple disciplines and are provided a residential fellowship in Rome. Fellowships are offered as full-term or half-term residencies and include a stipend and on-site accommodation and workspace.

Stipend (half-term $16,000; full-term $30,000), private bedroom with bath, private workspace, and weekday meals provided by the Rome Sustainable Food Project. Participation in the Academy community.

Except for Environmental Arts & Humanities and certain postdoctoral fellowships, applicants must be United States citizens at the time of application.
