Full-term and half-term Rome Prize Fellowships are available to professionals in historic preservation and conservation who are actively engaged in their fields. These awards are intended for a broad range of individuals who work on the conservation and historic preservation of works of art, manuscripts, or cultural properties (including architecture, engineering, planning and design, urban design, or landscape architecture), and those who work in cultural policy. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials that best express the quality of what they do and how they think. A proposal describing the project to be undertaken is required. Applicants must also submit a work sample of up to forty pages in a PDF format which characterizes the applicant's approach to their work. Work submitted should be the sole product of the applicant, or substantially the product of the applicant with the applicant's role in the work clearly noted. Also required are three reference letters from professionals acquainted with the applicant and their work. The deadline for applications is November 1. Applications will also be accepted between November 2 and 15 for an additional fee. Applicants who are selected as finalists will be contacted three to four weeks prior to the interview date scheduled for their category. Please visit the award's website for more information.
