Financial Aid
Westminster Conservatory offers financial aid to qualifying families in the form of reduced tuition. Financial aid is determined on a sliding scale that considers family financial resources, the number of dependent children, the number of family members studying at the Conservatory, and the programs in which the student(s) are enrolled. Recipients must maintain reasonable progress and attendance and keep all payments current. Financial aid application forms are available at any Conservatory office.
Parking
Parking on campus is extremely limited. We recommend students find on-street parking.
Parking regulations are strictly enforced on the Westminster campus. All cars parked on campus are required to display a parking hang tag (available at no charge in the Conservatory office) on their car. Failure to display this sticker could result in a fine.
After registration is confirmed, students should apply for a free, annual parking hang tag. This gives students permission to park while attending their lesson or another Conservatory event. No parking is allowed at other times.
Student Identification Cards
Student ID cards are necessary for students wishing to use the Talbott Library Learning Center, to enter the campus bookstore, and to gain reduced admission to some campus concerts. Student ID cards are available in Conservatory offices.

Fire Code
