Loan Counseling
Once during orientation and once before Commencement, the Conservatory holds mandatory, in-person loan counseling sessions for "entrance" and "exit" counseling. These sessions help Fellows understand their rights and responsibilities as loan borrowers.

Online counseling is also required when Fellows first apply for aid at the Conservatory and before their thesis is completed for graduation. The Conservatory uses EdFund's EDTEST program to guide Fellows through this process. The Financial Aid Office will be notified after the successful completion of your online loan counseling.
