A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE
Our Time
is Now
From here you can see the world
At The American University of Rome, the student experience is shaped by academic rigor combined with place, opportunity, and hands-on access. Our campus, our facilities, our scholarships, and our partnerships all play a decisive role in how students learn, grow, and prepare for life beyond the classroom.
Every gift to AUR is an investment in students: in their daily experience, their academic journey, and their future impact. By supporting these priorities, donors help ensure that AUR remains a place where ambition is nurtured, potential is unlocked, and education is lived as fully as it is studied.
