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. Applicants must submit a proposal describing the project to be undertaken. Applicants must also submit samples of their work (e.g., portfolio, essay, publication, etc.), which characterizes their 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. The jury has limited time, so applicants should make their portfolio succinct and easy to understand. If the PDF file exceeds the 10 MB upload limit, the applicant should send the portfolio on a USB drive to the American Academy in Rome's New York office. Applicants must also submit three reference letters from professionals acquainted with them and their work. The deadline for applications is November 1. Applications will also be accepted between November 2 and 15 for an additional fee. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
