Karen and Leo Gutmann Fellowships, which support housing costs, book purchases, professional organization membership fees, copying and reproduction charges, and registration fees.

Typically tuition for Conservation Center students is awarded the first year. Additional living stipend funds may be available after the first semester, and students are encouraged to apply to the Fellowship Committee for this support. Subsequent awards (for the second, third, and fourth year of study) are based on academic performance and demonstrated financial need; students apply to the Fellowship Committee annually.

Short-Term Emergency Loans
Concerned members of the Connoisseurs Circle have made possible the establishment of the Conservation Center Student Fund, which provides the same service for students of the Conservation Center. Applications are made to Michele Marincola, Conservation Center.
