Recipients of a full-term Rome Prize Fellowship are invited to Rome for approximately eleven months. Pre-doctoral applicants in the field of art history may apply for a two-year fellowship.

Rome Prize winners are the core of the Academy's residential community, which also includes Affiliated Fellows, Residents and Visiting Artists and Visiting Scholars.
