Rome Prize Information Session: Providence
Please join us on Tuesday, October 8 at 6:00pm ET for an in-person Rome Prize Information Session in Providence, hosted by the Rhode Island School of Design. All prospective Rome Prize applicants in the metro area and beyond are welcome. (This event is not limited to faculty or students at RISD.)
The information session is free and open, but we request that you please register in advance.
The program will include a presentation about the Rome Prize by AAR President Peter N. Miller, the musical composer Anthony Cheung (2013 Fellow), and other invited guests. An extended Q&A will follow.
The final deadline to apply for the Rome Prize for the 2025–26 academic year is November 15, 2024. This event offers the opportunity to get your questions answered before the deadline.
Rome Prize Fellowships are available in ancient studies, architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, landscape architecture, literature, medieval studies, modern Italian studies, musical composition, Renaissance and early modern studies, and visual arts. The Tsao Family Rome Prize will also be awarded to a humanities scholar whose project explores the relationship between Chinese and Mediterranean philosophical traditions.
Rome Prize Fellowships include a stipend, room and board, and an individual workspace at AAR’s eleven-acre campus in Rome.
For access to the Academy, guests will be asked to show a valid photo ID. Backpacks and luggage with dimensions larger than 40 x 35 x 15 cm (16 x 14 x 6 in.) are not permitted on the property. There are no locker facilities available. You may not bring animals (with the exception of seeing-eye/guide dogs).
