Tuition and related fees for students admitted before the mid-semester dates as indicated on AOSR calendar are due in full for the semester. A student may not be permitted to attend class until fees due are paid in full. Any exception to this provision must be obtained in writing from the Head of School and/or Director of Operations.

The American Overseas School of Rome Scholarship is an award for a student enrolled at the The American Overseas School of Rome in Italy
American Overseas School of Rome Scholarship
The American Overseas School of Rome scholarship is for students who have been accepted to a college or university. The scholarship is also for students who are attending the American Overseas School of Rome.
If you want to apply, send an email to scholarships@aorsr.org with your name, address, and phone number before October 1st
Type College-specific
The American Overseas School of Rome Scholarship is awarded to a student attending the American Overseas School of Rome. The scholarship is awarded to a citizen of the United States who is enrolled in a full-time undergraduate program at AOSR, with preference given to students from outside of Europe.
Qualifications Essay Required
An essay is required for application. The essay topic is “Why do you want to study in Rome?” and should be 500 words or less (not including a 250-word biography).
Amount $1,000 – $2,500
The amount of the scholarship you receive will depend on a number of factors, including your school and application essays. If you are applying to more than one school, you may also get a different scholarship amount for each one.
Awarded Multiple
Multiple awards are given each year.
Awardees are chosen by a committee.
Awards are announced in the spring (usually May).
Deadlines
The application period for scholarships varies by scholarship. Check the website of each scholarship you are interested in to see when it’s accepting applications. As a general rule of thumb, deadlines tend to be earlier in the year than late summer or fall. For example:
The American-Overseas School of Rome Scholarship deadline is March 1
The Rotary Club District 8090 Vocational Scholarships for Academic Excellence deadline is April 1
The reason for this is that most scholarships are awarded based on your potential rather than what you’ve already accomplished. In other words, if you’re applying for a high school or college scholarship, this means that you’ll probably have to submit your application earlier than if you were applying for an internship or job because they have more time before they need to make decisions about who gets hired (or not).
LATE PAYMENT
All payments must be net of expenses and any bank handling charges are to be borne in full by the remitter. A penalty charge of 1% per month will be added to any outstanding balance after 30 days.
EARLY WITHDRAWAL
AOSR will not reimburse any payments for a current semester because of a student’s absences, withdrawal, suspension or expulsion. However, Semester II payments will be reimbursed if AOSR is notified of a transfer within the first week of January. Official transcripts and records are released only after all financial obligations have been met.
RETURNING STUDENTS
All students returning to AOSR for the following school year will receive their invoice in April/May. Invoices are payable on or before the due date(s) indicated on such invoice(s). Due to AOSR’s open enrollment policy, we cannot guarantee a returning student’s place after the payment deadline and AOSR may assign his/her place to a new student.
LATE RE-ENROLLMENT
Returning students whose parents/guardians submit re-registration confirmation after April 16, 2021, will be charged a late re-registration fee of €150 per students.
FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid is granted on an individual basis per year and is considered for students whose parents or guardians submit evidence of financial hardship and complete the application with supporting documentation. Financial Aid available is a specific and limited amount for the academic year determined by the Board of Trustees.
