| Description: | There is an application fee. Application period opens in August. FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS The Rome Prize Fellowship In Landscape Architecture PROVIDES a residential year at the American Academy in Rome for an American landscape architect for advanced study, travel, and association with other fellows in the arts and humanities. Former Rome Prize recipients include many of our country’s most outstanding landscape architects, as well as artists, architects, musicians, and classicists. The American Academy overlooks the historic city of Rome from its 11 acre site on the Janiculum Hill. It has been called “an estate of the mind” and provides an atmosphere for unregimented study, independent work, and inspiration. Applicants must hold an accredited degree in Landscape Architecture. Selection is by the American Academy in Rome in consultation with the GCA Scholarship Committee. Each Rome Prize winner is provided with a stipend, meals, a bedroom with private bath, and a study or studio. Those with children under 18 live in partially subsidized apartments nearby. Winners of six-month and 11-month fellowships receive stipends of $10,500 and $21,000, respectively. Pre-doctoral awards, which include 11-month and two-year fellowships, carry an annual stipend of $15,750. Due to the fluctuating dollar/euro exchange rate and the high cost of living in Rome, the stipends offered may not cover all expenses. This is especially true for prize winners who come to Rome with spouses, companions and/or children. Fellowships generally begin at the Academy in early September and end in early August. Winners of the 11-month Rome Prize fellowships may elect to depart the Academy after nine months with no reduction to the fellowship stipend. |

| Sponsor: | American Academy in Rome | ||
| Sponsor's Goals: | Through its annual Rome Prize fellowship program, the Academy supports up to thirty individuals working in archaeology, architecture, classical studies, design arts, historic preservation and conservation, history of art, landscape architecture, literature, modern Italian studies, musical composition, post-classical humanistic studies and visual arts. Rome Prize Fellows are chosen by juries of experts who review past work and the proposed project of each applicant. While the Academy is composed of two historic disciplines, the Arts and the Humanities, it does not have a faculty, a curriculum or a student body. The artists and scholars in residence at the Academy are there to pursue their own independent projects. |

| Other Requirements: | Eligibility Applicants for all Rome Prize fellowships, except those applying for the NEH post-doctoral fellowship, must be United States citizens at the time of application. U.S. citizens and those foreign nationals who have lived in the U.S. for the three years immediately preceding the application deadline may apply for the NEH post-doctoral fellowships. Graduate students in the humanities may apply only for pre-doctoral fellowships. Previous winners of the Rome Prize are not eligible to re-apply. Undergraduate students are not eligible for Rome Prize fellowships. Individuals may submit joint applications provided that the work is genuinely collaborative in nature as demonstrated by the materials submitted. In the case of joint applications, each individual must meet all eligibility requirements. Joint applications must be submitted in one package. Joint applicants selected as winners will share one prize. Winners of the Rome Prize may hold other fellowships concurrently, as long as the requirements of such fellowships do not conflict with the Academy's rules. Applicants are required to disclose all fellowships and awards they expect to hold during their proposed residency in Rome, including sabbatical pay. The Academy may make adjustments to its stipends based on other awards held by Rome Prize recipients. Winners may not hold full-time jobs while at the Academy. The Selection Process Each year the Academy organizes an open, national competition from its New York City office to select its Rome Prize winners. Jury members, prominent in their disciplines, are drawn from all regions of the country and change annually. The juries convene from January through March, and finalists may be required to come to New York at Academy expense to be interviewed. The Academy's Board of Trustees announces the winners in late April. The primary criterion for selection is excellence, as perceived both in achievement and in promise. Jurors consider the quality of submitted application materials and the interviews for what these reveal about past achievement and the potential for future development. A jury may select any candidate it judges to be outstanding in his or her field and at a point in the individual's career where the Rome Prize experience would be critical to future growth and accomplishment. Since an important aspect of what the Academy offers to Rome Prize winners is exposure to Rome, all other factors being equal, preference will be given to those applicants who have not had extensive prior experience living and studying and/or working in Rome. The four application fees are based upon the postmark date and the number of disciplines in which you are applying. Applying in one field Cost: $25 (postmark by 1 November) Cost: $50 (postmark between 2-15 November) Applying in two or more fields Cost: $40 (postmark by 1 November) Cost: $75 (postmark between 2-15 November) Please Note : Private meter strips are not acceptable. No applications postmarked after 15 November will be accepted. Those applicants applying solely for NEH post-doctoral fellowships are not required to submit application fees.
