Please join us on Thursday, May 23 for an online Rome Prize Information Session, taking place on Zoom. All prospective Rome Prize applicants are welcome.

The information session, starting at 5:00pm ET, is free and open, but we request that you please register in advance.

For this event, AAR President Peter N. Miller will present an overview of the Academy. Next, Shawn Miller, AAR’s program director, will lead a discussion about the fellowship with Phu Hoang (2017 Fellow), an architect and president of the Society of Fellows. An extended Q&A will follow.

The deadline to apply for the Rome Prize for the 2025–26 academic year is November 1, 2024; the application portal opens in August. 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.
