SCOPE: The American Academy in Rome is inviting applications for seven 
fellowships: the Oscar Broneer Fellowship in Classical Studies and six 
Rome Prize Fellowships. The American Academy in Rome is an American 
overseas center for independent study and advanced research in the 
fine arts and the humanities.

DEADLINE: January 15 for the Broneer Fellowship, November 15 for the 
others. 

FUNDS: An Oscar Broneer Fellow receives room and board and a cash 
stipend of $11,600. Fellows in residence in Athens receive a cash 
stipend of $8,840 plus room, board and a waiver of fees.

Each Rome Prize winner is provided a stipend, meals, a bedroom with 
private bath, and a study or studio. Those with children under 18 live 
in subsidized apartments nearby.

ELIGIBILITY: See below. 

AREAS: The Oscar Broneer Fellowship allows a young scholar of 
classical antiquity, or of the reception of Graeco-Roman culture in 
the Middle Ages or the Renaissance, to broaden his or her 
understanding of the subject. Applicants must be PhD candidates or 
recent PhDs (six-year limit) who have not received tenure (not to rank 
above assistant professor) and who have been Fellows of the American 
Academy in Rome within the past seven years or Regular Students or 
Student Associates at the American School of Classical Studies within 
the past five years.
 
Rome Prize Fellowships
The Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowships are for 11 months and allow 
scholars to conduct research at the Academy in Rome in the following 
areas: architecture, design, historic preservation and conservation, 
landscape architecture, literature, musical composition, visual arts, 
ancient studies, medieval studies, renaissance and early modern 
studies, and modern Italian studies. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. at 
the time of application. Applicants for Academy post-doctoral awards 
must be assistant professors, associate professors appointed within 
the prior two years, or independent scholars who have received the 
Ph.D. within the prior seven years. Past recipients of pre-doctoral 
Rome Prize fellowships may not apply for post-doctoral Rome Prize 
fellowships.
     
Eleven-Month Fellowships: Applicants in architecture or landscape 
architecture must hold an accredited degree in the field of 
application. Applicants in historic preservation and conservation are 
expected to be seasoned professionals, actively engaged in their 
fields, with enough experience and maturity to give them direction 
once they arrive in Rome. Applicants in musical composition must hold 
a bachelor's degree in music, musical composition, or its equivalent. 
Applicants in visual arts must demonstrate at least three years of 
professional commitment and be currently engaged in studio work. 
     
NEH Post-Doctoral Fellowships: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. at the 
time of application. U.S. citizens or individuals who have resided at 
least three years in the U.S. are eligible. Past recipients of 
pre-doctoral Rome Prize fellowships may not apply for post-doctoral 
Rome Prize fellowships. 
     
Pre-doctoral Fellowships (11 months): Applicants must have fulfilled 
all pre-dissertation requirements by the application deadline. 
Applicants should consider whether their projects are at a stage and 
of such a nature that they would derive greater benefit from an 
11-month or a two-year fellowship; selecting either option will have 
no bearing on the jury's evaluation of the proposal's merits. 
Applicants may choose to check both options. 
     
Pre-doctoral Fellowships (two years): Two-year awards are limited to 
projects in the history of art and architecture of any period and to 
projects whose disciplinary focus is in ancient studies. See note on 
11-month fellowships. 
     
Six-Month Fellowships in the School of Fine Arts allow individuals to 
work at the Academy in Rome in one of the following areas: 
architecture, design arts (including graphic design, industrial 
design, interior design, set design, urban design and urban planning), 
historic preservation and conservation, and landscape architecture. 
Applicants for six-month fellowships must have a bachelor's degree or 
equivalent in the field of application and at least seven years of 
professional experience and currently be practicing in the field.
