The Paideia Rome Fellowship, established in 2013, is awarded annually to outstanding recent graduates in the classical humanities. Fellows are given the opportunity to live in Rome for a year in order to deepen their knowledge of the city and its culture, learn the Italian language, and gain teaching experience in Paideia’s programs. 

Applicants to the Rome Fellowship must be recent graduates from a college or university with a strong background in Classics or a related field. Preference will be given to alumni of one of the Paideia Institute’s programs, but non-alumni are also encouraged to apply.

While there is no ideal applicant, we seek Fellows who value teaching and who have exhibited throughout their undergraduate career an aptitude for language-learning and the potential to make a strong contribution to the classical humanities. Given the nature of the Fellowship year, we are interested in applicants who have demonstrated comfort with independent research, the ability to thrive in a collaborative environment, and a sense of adventure and adaptability. 

Applications are due on March 1st, 2022. For more information, including application information, eligibility, and the application itself, please visit our website.
