Rome Scholarship in Architecture

The Rome Scholarship in Architecture offers an exceptional opportunity for recent graduates and early-career architects to explore bold, original ideas in a uniquely inspiring setting. This prestigious award supports a three- to six-month residency at the British School at Rome (BSR), where scholars develop self-directed research projects rooted in Rome or elsewhere in Italy.

Whether your interests lie in innovative design, architectural theory, historical analysis—or a creative blend of all three—this scholarship supports ambitious thinking and critical inquiry. Rome Scholars gain privileged access to the BSR’s world-class Library and Archive and join a dynamic, interdisciplinary community of artists, architects, and researchers.

This immersive residency fosters both intellectual growth and professional development, encouraging cross-disciplinary dialogue and deeper engagement with Italy’s rich architectural legacy.

Applications typically open in September and close in December. Ready to shape the next stage of your career? Apply here
